		<description><![CDATA[While I was doing my morning chores, I heard the familiar sounds of the gang of Crows perched on the trees cawing away. As usual, they were making their morning racket of noise. This means that they are anticipating food, or one of my deviant neighbours had just fed them peanuts. Either way we go to great lengths to scare them away becuase they cause havoc for the rest of us - the Crows leave their droppings on everything. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always been interested in politics, and my need to know more about it peaked when I took my first Political Science course way back in 2004. I really believe that the first steps in understanding politics is having a really good base of knowledge. I never got any good learning experiences when I was in high school, they never taught it then adequately, and sitting in an armchair would have never gotten me close to what I needed in terms of knowledge (of fully appreciating) all the facets of politics since my University days. I think too, the need to want to learn it plays a huge part in appreciating it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been desensitized over the years with news stories of human suffering and tragedy. In my academic studies in criminology, I have read, encountered, and studied both the purely bad and truly evil acts that humans have done, and through this, I have built up a resistance from these deviants, and often criminal cases. However, once in a while, a case pops up that adds a new level to this playing field that supersedes my definition of sick and twisted. The news story of two year old Wang Yueyue who was run over twice on October 13th, 2011, and then eight passers-by walked by her as she lay in the back alley injured from the first vehicle impact (CBCnews, ABC news &#038; BBC news Television, October 14th to October 21, 2011). All of this was captured on a security video camera. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today I sat in on a gathering of people who talked about the changing evolution of corrections (prisons) that Canadian society was moving towards. A lot of what was said falls into the category of classical social fear; crime is getting out of control and safety for property and person were at the top of the list from almost every speaker who lead the discussion. The dynamics of the meeting was subtle, but from person to person who gave their input, I could see that each changed to fit the "group think" attitudes that prevailed until everyone just agreed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have being giving this a lot of thought lately as our economic world falls into the abyss. Everyone is touting that Canada is doing so good in terms of economics, saying that we will weather the bad times and continue on without any devastating crashes compared to the other countries that we stand beside. But for some strange reason, I feel we are not doing as well as our elected and non-elected official are saying.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was crossing Glover Road at Mary Street in Fort Langley when out of no where a cyclist darted out in front of me when I was halfway across the crosswalk. This is not the first time that I have had near misses at this cross walk. Over the years, I can recall three other instances when people either kept on driving, never even slowing while I was crossing, or they would slow down then try to accelerate through the crosswalk before I crossed into the lane that they are in, and one woman even stopped, then sped onwards while I waited for her vehicle to come to a complete stop before I entered the crosswalk.]]></description>

Back then, the term Restorative Justice was thrown around a lot by various stake holders of both academics and the criminal justice system, as each [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I strongly request that anyone with images of rioters from last night come forward and share your eyes with the police so that justice can be served. For the few people to created such distasteful acts in our city is unacceptable. There is a moral judgement that each person must make, and it is between the public good versus the private rights that each Canadian holds dearly. I hope I have convinced you to make that choice and move forward with it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was laughing out loud when I read this news story. This is not one of those stories you hear of the little guy sticking it to the big guy; but rather, two people fighting it out on a level playing field. What is unusual is that this case involves a Bank being successfully sued by its own customer for not paying the customer's legal fees from a failed action against that customer.]]></description>

But, it was far from being a day when bad things should have occurred, or when everything should have went wrong, the opposite practically happened. The day went incredibly smooth, and was extremely productive. Yes, I was very tired when I got home, but I felt good about it.]]></description>
