		<description><![CDATA[So, there was this protest  in my fair city this weekend. &#8220;Against what? What are they so angry about?&#8221; asked a doe-eyed college kid on the metro &#8220;Everything,&#8221; replied my love. &#8220;Ask a different one, get a different answer.&#8221; &#8220;Oh,&#8221; said the student, playing with her &#8220;peaceful co-existence&#8221; button.
