		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s note: This is a guest post by Louie Clearheart of The Love That I Am Many of us have heard the saying, “live simply, simply live.” This is a key to happiness.

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the largest portion of my adult life, I have maintained what can best be described as an air of pseudo-intellectualism.

		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s note: This is a guest post by &#8216;Zeno&#8217; First of all, I like to think of Religion as the mimicry spawning from revolutionary, charismatic, spiritual leaders (i.e. Jesus, Mohammad, Moses, Joseph Smith, etc.).

Perhaps if all of the existing users of Google Wave knew one another and had some sort of project they were all working on together, the current system would work. As it is, there is very little activity. Sure, you can search for specific topics in public [...]
