His campaign staff hosted the free event, which was held at the fashionable Ruby Skye lounge outside of Union Square. The event was well attended: both in terms of numbers and diversity.

		<description><![CDATA[In response to Sacrificing for Life, CrossBearer asks, &#8220;Why should a woman sacrifice herself if she was raped? It wasn’t her fault.&#8221;
It never is.
Yet the question of sacrifice arises elsewhere. One could also ask, &#8220;why should a prisoner sacrifice himself if he is falsely accused.&#8221; There is injustice everywhere in the world. As such, the question goes beyond rape. Indeed, one [...]]]></description>

His Eminence Cormac Cardinal Murphy-O&#8217;Connor also called for more understanding between Christians and non-believers, stating that God was both &#8220;hidden&#8221; and &#8220;active&#8221; in the lives of all people.
Christians should have deep esteem for all people, regardless of race, sex, [...]]]></description>

With regard to your friend, I would not take her to task on her perspective on abortion.  In other words, do not attack her (or anyone for that matter) over the issue.  However, you should find a [...]]]></description>

Five protesters were killed as thousands marched in the capital of Mogadishu. Many shops and markets shut their doors as protesters accused the merchants of cheating the people out of their food.

President Bush wants Congress to approve $770 million in aid to Africa. The President has already released $200 million in for emergency international relief in the past two weeks. Congress, however, [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t think you really understood me.
But perhaps it would be easier if we laid out my meaning through the points in your proposed counter-argument.
&#8220;The Truth will set us free&#8230; The Truth is ever-ancient, ever-new..&#8221;
