		<description><![CDATA[The first in my series on logical fallacies, the appeal to belief, is simple. It is the fallacious argument that because you, I, or anyone else believes something, that belief somehow confers validity to the argument. Traditionally, it&#8217;s similar to an appeal to populous, but I&#8217;ve been hearing it applied more and more recently to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would like to start this off with everyone being very clear that I am an atheist. I do not believe in any deities. There simply isn't sufficient evidence to prove them empirically. However, I hear many people argue that religion is not a position of proof but rather of faith. Many of these same individuals call their particular deity their Heavenly Father.

		<description><![CDATA[I am a resident of Oregon and it pains me to see what is going on in the Nation&#8217;s capital. From here, it looks like the Nation&#8217;s unemployed and America&#8217;s lower income families are being ransomed. We the People are being held hostage by the GOP at the behest of the top 2% of earners. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find one of the most troubling things today is the lack of scientific knowledge in the general populous of America. More than any other ideology, Creationism seems fueled by an ignorance of our natural world and the foundations of what science actually is. According to a Gallup Poll in 2008, 44% believed that a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an atheist, I get a bit irritated when I see federal institutions endorsing religion, even if it is de facto. There is an odd rallying cry recently of &#8220;take back America&#8221;, which fascinates me. Many forget that a lot of the Christian elements in our society are relatively new. The Official Motto As war [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few seasons, Facebook has rolled out a host of features that mimic other popular social networking sites. Facebook just recently announced their location-based check-in service. I&#8217;m pretty sure this is geared towards the same people that use Gowalla and Foursquare. All companies present business ideas with the hopes that they&#8217;ll be at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons I wanted to go with a pet store for a puppy was the warranty that comes with doing business with a large company. I should have known that this was nonsense when you had 24 hours to return the puppy if it didn&#8217;t work out. Even then, you lost half of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple computers are notoriously easy to use. Even with that, the Level 1 Mac User will disable things like Expose and Spaces. They&#8217;ll make the doc large and bouncy. The spotlight&#8217;s keyboard shortcuts will be ignored and the files will always be three moves away. I&#8217;m going to tell you how to make it to level [...]]]></description>
