		<description><![CDATA[I wish Julbo would somehow get its products reviewed in the Canadian media so that Julbo sunglasses would become readily available here in Canada. I live near Toronto, Ontario, but when I searched the Internet last year, I found only two places selling Julbo sunglasses in Canada, and both of them were in Montreal, Quebec.

Show them that starting a business or working for wages can take them up mountain trails.  Tell them true-life stories.  Let them know that it&#8217;s fun to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If concerned (aka intrusive) citizens continue to harass individuals who use disposable plastic water bottles, then those individuals might start hiding their empty bottles in the garbage, where they won&#8217;t be seen (in dark plastic garbage bags), rather than in recycle boxes out front of their homes.

		<description><![CDATA[A quote from John Updike&#8217;s book Seek My Face, page 48:
Truth is ugly. We possess art lest we perish of the truth. The only virtue left in this day and age is courage before the hopeless.
He means your courage best serves the hopeless.
