                    <description><![CDATA[Much of the purported concern of the pro-marriage amendment (defining marriage as between one man and one woman) community seems to revolve around the impact same-sex marriage will have on children. How will we explain two moms or two dads to our children? A marriage ought to be between the biological mom and the biological dad, they argue. Once there’s same-sex marriage, they’ll teach our kids about it in school. And so on. The closer to the election, the more emphasis on scare tactics.  ]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[But the underlying theme of Ryan's speech and much Republican rhetoric these days is the notion that government, particularly the federal government, is the biggest obstacle in our time to individual freedom and liberty. Lower taxes, get rid of regulations that may protect the public interest, allow oil drilling in environmentally sensitive areas, unshackle corporations and wealthy individuals, allow them, under the guise of free speech, to make unlimited campaign contributions with little or no transparency and so on. That is freedom by this definition, in which government is the enemy rather than an expression of the common good.  ]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[I’ll let the legal experts sort out the arguments about the health care law before the U.S. Supreme Court this week. But what seems to be missing in all the discussion about the so-called individual mandate is the practical impact of the bill on the lives of everyday people and the complete lack of a Plan B if the court overturns part or all of the law.

And the author, Terry Larkin, says that extending unemployment benefits to the jobless is a disincentive for them to find work. “I see Americans’ desire to work being slowly euthanized with larger and longer unemployment benefits,” he writes. ]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Yes, the Twins blew another late-inning lead against the Angels on Friday night (May 27). And yes, an incredibly inept bullpen was a major reason. But the bullpen had a lot of help as the Twins lost their 14th home game this year, against only 5 wins. After last year’s magical season—the opening of Target Field, a great home record, another Central Division title—this season is an unmitigated disaster. And it keeps getting worse. ]]></description>

But as I watch what the Republican-dominated state Legislature has done so far this session, I wonder where the class warfare is actually being directed.  ]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[ While most scientists and health organizations oppose human cloning, they fear that the bill will prohibit therapeutic cloning. This process, known as SCNT or somatic cell nuclear transplant, takes an unfertilized egg and adds DNA from a patient to create a stem cell line. These cells can then be used to replace damaged tissues or cells, including islet cells (which produce insulin and don’t function in a diabetic). The cell line is compatible with the patient, making it potentially more effective and free of rejection risks. ]]></description>
