		<description><![CDATA[Last January Washington, D.C. began implementing a tax on disposable paper and plastic carryout bags. The 5-cent fee on bags produced an almost immediate reduction in the usage of single-use bags and their subsequent appearance in area waterways. The bag tax is great and all, but it makes me wonder: Why doesn&#8217;t DC have a [...]]]></description>

Now I have no problem with a police officer asking me if I am OK. There was just a tornado in Dwight, the location from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sooner or later, most people will encounter a panhandler. It is an unjust fact of life. Though on most days my path crosses someone or another begging for some change, typically I don&#8217;t give money to panhandlers. It is not that I don&#8217;t empathize with their suffering, or that I doubt their need, but I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jan. 27, 2010 Those who are homeless are often invisible, ignored. We chose to see, or not see, the man begging for change as we walk down the street. We forget that our friends who just needed a place to stay &#8220;for a few days&#8221; are still sleeping on our couch. We ignore the waitress [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jan. 19, 2010 The Washington Post today reported that the crush of those seeking public services has so far exceeded the district&#8217;s ability to process applications that some have been forced to spend day after day waiting in line. It is a far cry from the near mob scene in Detroit last October when thousands [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dec. 28, 2009 Human beings are not meant to live in the cold. Some of us may enjoy living in cooler regions, but I doubt anyone enjoys spending any real amount of time exposed to the elements without proper clothing. Yet routinely the poor and the homeless are left ill prepared to shelter themselves from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dec. 27, 2009 Earlier this week the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced the release of $1.4 billion in grants to help keep thousands of local homeless assistance programs operating.
