		<description><![CDATA[Best of all, my students are teaching me faith in the generation coming up through the ranks - as well as in the mid-life generation (some Baby Boomers, some younger than) now re-training for new jobs and news careers.  The American "can-do" spirit is alive and well; the desire to know what one doesn't know is alive and well.  I'm heading into 2012 with a great belief that there is reason for hope and reason for optimism.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hubbs6.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3965655&amp;post=350&amp;subd=hubbs6&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my classes and training workshops, I've always recommended reading media on the far right, the far left, and everything in between, because somewhere in there is a balance.  But when you add to that the fact that if something is repeated often enough, people believe it - then there are times when trying to get the truth to shine through all the clutter is difficult indeed.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hubbs6.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3965655&amp;post=329&amp;subd=hubbs6&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always thought it was the luck of the draw that I happened to be born in the U.S.A., with a degree of freedom that I may not have known anyplace else.

Looking at the list of ancestors, I no longer think it was luck.  I think they worked their tails off to ensure that what my family so enjoys today will continue for centuries to come.

So thank you, Emanuel.  You were one of the first.  You made a difference, and we will remember.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hubbs6.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3965655&amp;post=315&amp;subd=hubbs6&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
