		<description><![CDATA[So yesterday I wrote about the danger of being ideologically rigid. I said that it can lead to bad policy decisions, alienated stakeholders, and public disenchantment. I should have added that it can make you look pretty stupid too. In late breaking news just now, Gordon Campbell and Finance Minister Colin Hansen have confirmed that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=the604.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5590866&amp;post=116&amp;subd=the604&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that British Columbia has probably the most polarized political climate in the country, and in Vancouver it&#8217;s only more acute. It&#8217;s also no surprise that we live in some of the most challenging times we&#8217;ve seen as a country since the early 90s. So when I encounter people from both ends of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=the604.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5590866&amp;post=113&amp;subd=the604&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to quickly add a little note to let people know I&#8217;m back and will be writing again soon. Things have been hectic, midterms, the winter break, and then getting back up to speed at school&#8230;it caught up! But things have settled down and I&#8217;ll be writing more regularly. Some news: I&#8217;m now [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=the604.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5590866&amp;post=110&amp;subd=the604&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This could be called the video of the month since I&#8217;ve been gone for so long, but I promise it&#8217;s worth it. &#8220;The Great Wall Street Swindle&#8221; is quite possibly the best explanation about the financial crisis I&#8217;ve seen so far and how much it will continue to impact all of us. The video is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=the604.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5590866&amp;post=106&amp;subd=the604&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I don&#8217;t like participating in marketing campaigns, but this one does a good job of blending in enough culture to be more than just an ad. Burger King has put together a video documenting their taste tests with individuals all over the world who they call &#8216;Whopper Virgins.&#8221; Interestingly, they sought out people who [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=the604.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5590866&amp;post=102&amp;subd=the604&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
