		<title>COMMUNICATION IS INSPIRATION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[JACK
Over the years I have met and worked with many interesting people, exchanging ideas and feelings.  I was very pleased to hear from my old friend Mike Schwager and that he has started a new website www.enrichment.com.  His lifetime of delving into relationships, bringing people together, and seeking to find common ground through [...]]]></description>

		<title>There’s No Business Like Your Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[JACK
In the past couple of months a number of people have asked me for advice on how to go into business and, particularly, how to choose and market a product. Back in 1996 I wrote a book &#8220;There&#8217;s No Business Like Your Business: How to Turn Your Knowledge into Personal Profit&#8221;. In the early 1990&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple Solutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Taken from July 15, 2008 Presidential Press Conference. (Transcript from Whitehouse.gov)
Q-  …one thing nobody debates is that if Americans use less energy the current supply/demand equation would improve. Why have you not sort of called on Americans to drive less and to turn down the thermostat?
THE PRESIDENT: They&#8217;re smart enough to figure out whether [...]]]></description>

		<title>Progressive Capitalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[JACK
One of the great issues today is the American addiction to oil, and what is happening as the price climbs and we seemingly have no control over how high it will go.  When President Bush took office the price of oil was $17 a barrel.  We are now paying over $140 a barrel. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get Smart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[JACK
It suddenly occurs to me that everything seems to be done differently than in the past.  I feel that we are constantly being dumbed down, and I know that I had a much better feeling of what was happening politically in former days.  Now bills are passing through Congress under what seems like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Closing the Deal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[JACK
As I get deeper into social issues I am amazed at how closely they parallel personal problems.  One of the greatest factors in solving problems, and closing deals, is an ability to finalize the issue.  Specifically, great sales people know how to close.  If you don’t close the deal then everything that [...]]]></description>

		<title>COMPROMISING POSITIONS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[HILLARY
I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to compromise, and what people should be willing to give up in order to reach a compromise.
JACK
Compromise is a little word with many meanings.  In many instances it is considered a bad word, as in “I will not compromise my principles or my standards.”  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Time for Truth is Now.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[HILLARY
Scott McClellan is being told by his former colleagues, and some in the media, that he lacks loyalty and character.  The fact that this revelation comes in the form of a book for sale at $26.95 a copy, perhaps is reason to be suspicious of his motives.  However, if it is true what [...]]]></description>

		<title>SOLUTIONS THROUGH SPECIFICS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day-to-day communication, both politically and personally, often is missing specificity.
Something seems to stop us from telling each other exactly how we feel.  Instead, we cloud our communication with generalities.    Perhaps this comes from a fear of confrontation.  Or, maybe we are afraid that we will insult each other. But, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enough Gotchas, we&#8217;ve got real problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[JACK
I can&#8217;t remember a time when good people have been more divided than we are today. I have experienced many different times through history. There have been occasions when we have been split in this country, particularly the days before WWII, and while we were experiencing the crisis in Vietnam. The confusion has never been [...]]]></description>
