		<title>A New &#8216;Hood, at the Crossroads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new neighborhood in North West Washington DC welcomed me this past week, a new house on a new street. The excitement of different habits and different haunts. I have moved into a wonderful old row house HERE on New Jersey Avenue, just off the intersection with Rhode Island Avenue. It is another of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cooperatives and the Bailout, Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In light of the massive economic revitalization project being planned by the still coalescing Obama administration, meant to dump hundreds of billions of dollars into employing Americans and modernizing the country&#8217;s infrastructure, one of the most promising trends is the rising popularity of the public - private partnership. A model of private sector business that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cooperatives in the New New Deal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the new administration rolls out its massive stimulus plan, it is an opportunity to consider alternatives that could multiply the effectiveness of the project. Whether the seemingly flawless free market philosophy that has reigned in America&#8217;s economy has lost credibility during the current crisis or not, it is obvious that people are open now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indonesia as America&#8217;s Gateway</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Initial thoughts on the new administration&#8217;s policy towards Indonesia, Asia, and Islam.
Fault lines are becoming visible the world over, places - geographic, political and cultural places - through which tides of global power have to flow and fulcrums on which balances will tilt. While the US has focused so much of its attention on the Middle [...]]]></description>

		<title>Investing in the Future with Bill Gates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Bill Gates pleased a crowd of well dressed men and women, and well intentioned GWU students, when he spoke today at the George Washington University in Washington DC&#8217;s Foggy Bottom neighborhood, just West of the White House. He came off as humbly as any multi-multi-billionaire can be expected to, refreshingly true to his nerdiness [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Challenge of Community Oganizing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight was the regular meeting of the board of the yet to materialize H Street Community Coop Market. An effort emerging from the desire of a number of NE DC residents to increase their families&#8217; and the community&#8217;s access to local, natural foods, the idea has grown over a period of more than five years.

		<title>Sunday of Bounty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A son of Minnesota&#8217;s agricultural heartland, a connection to the land and the people who coax from it the delicacies I grew up loving has always been important. Alienation from this archetypal aspect of humanity has become all too prevelent, sadly, in modern cities.
Sunday mornings at Dupont Circle, one of Washington DC&#8217;s busiest gathering places, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Election Night, 2008, Washington DC</title>

Now, the morning after, there is so much work to be done. I hope people are inspired to realize that there is nothing [...]]]></description>
