		<description><![CDATA[There is a documentary film out right now called &#8220;Bully&#8221; being released by the Weinstein Co. You can watch the trailer for it below this post. It has a strong message, in that if bullying isn&#8217;t stopped people get pushed over the edge, but there is something that we all can do about it. In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, yes, the wonderful social control mechanisms of propaganda &#8211; used to segregate, motivate and retaliate populations with ease. There are very few sources of media that simply report regular news today, and even less who report good news. Most media outlets are either slanted to the left or the right, and love to spill [...]]]></description>
