		<description><![CDATA[My father used to remark wryly to his friends that he knew no peace, because his house was infested with girl children. There were only four of us, but we were a fairly rambunctious lot. If we weren&#8217;t fighting with each other, we were fighting with our mother, who liked to pay tribute to her [...]]]></description>

It was also the first time they&#8217;d met, and we&#8217;d gone there to visit him. On this visit, we&#8217;d agreed to settle where we would go from here. We both knew [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a hot and heavy sex education &#8220;debate&#8221; taking place in Ontario in recent weeks. I use quotation marks around the word because, although that&#8217;s how the media describe it, what&#8217;s been going on here doesn&#8217;t fit my definition of debate. The way I learned to debate in school, the parties throw up [...]]]></description>
