		<description><![CDATA[I love sci-fi, and Babylon 5 is one of my favourites. But when life becomes like sci-fi, I get worried. The political intrigue in B5 is now looking like a reality across the world. Were the Shadows inspiration to the Taliban? What of the the bizarre zealots that preferred to let their child die despite Dr. Stephen Franklin&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Osama bin Laden, long live Osama bin Laden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Osama bin Laden, on the run for nine long year, and finally dead. For many, this will be seen as a victory. But at what cost? He has almost become the brand name for terrorism. The figurehead of al-Qa&#8217;ida, the man who brought the United States to it&#8217;s knees. A little melodramatic? I don&#8217;t think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cyclists, oh dear.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, been out of action for a while. Tired old brain misbehaving. All better now, nothing like a firing range pistol to the head, oh sorry, that was the twins.

		<title>Tax On Rentals &#8211; What You Need To Think About</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Owning rental property is an addiction here in New Zealand. Just about everyone I know has a rental property. Some even rent or flat share in more &#8220;desirable&#8221; locations than they could afford to buy in but have one or two rentals in other suburbs. Yet with all these rental properties, the government sees very [...]]]></description>

His job as a mechanic most likely over, and his time spent running and jumping with his 5 year old son a distant memory. Of course, it was not Matt&#8217;s fault. [...]]]></description>

Well three if you include those that just don&#8217;t give a damn about anything. The first is that New Zealand is technically a low taxed country. This camp [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death on my mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Death has been on my mind a lot the last few weeks. It seems strangely morbid that I have become so fascinated with the harsh reality of life, being death.  I don&#8217;t know why it has become so important lately.  Obviously there is death all around us, on the radio, in the newspaper and on [...]]]></description>
