		<description><![CDATA[The shooter had convinced himself that killing was gutsy and masculine. Based on his misreadings of Nietzsche and from repeated viewings of the Oliver Stone film, <em>Natural Born Killers</em>, he had convinced himself that the killer was a kind of superior being, and that killing constituted a form of “Natural Selection.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By the 1700s the “correctional” metaphor prevails and most of them are placed in moral and physical restraints in order to correct their aberrant attitudes or behaviors.   Many of these souls were chained as animals in appalling conditions which would get us convicted if we treated our dogs similarly today.  Such unfortunates included those convicted of debauchery, crime, and sexual license “where reason was the slave of desire and a servant of the heart.”  (I suppose all of us would require sequestration under those criteria).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a time, not many decades ago, that most of  America’s population labored on family farms. Then, the primary objective of the American farmer was to be debt free, to be independent.  I was made aware of this “independence” many years ago when my mother-in-law, Jessie Hobbs, the daughter of a  West Virginia farmer, once commented about her childhood, “We didn’t know there was a depression.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By the time the first Europeans visited Easter in 1722, the Island was nearly uninhabited, virtually barren except for the statues, and plagued by such a history of violence and cannibalism that in Island oral traditions, the most hostile insult a person could make was: “The flesh of your mother sticks between my teeth.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Helen Duncan is my favorite. Huge, chain-smoking woman who used to swoon and occasionally pee herself in the frenzy of spirit possession. Helen had the scientists stumped. She'd produce ectoplasm ... even though the researchers had frisked her and done a cavity search prior to her entering the séance chamber. Turned out she was a talented regurgitator."]]></description>

It is scarcely news that in a vast, pluralistic country like the United States, minorities should feel themselves threatened with absorption into the larger society, and that they should cling to some form of cultural identity.  It begins poignantly when school children pledge allegiance to “ &#8230; one nation, indivisible, with freedom and justice [...]]]></description>
