		<description><![CDATA[Scotland freed one of the Lockerbie bombing terrorists a couple of days ago, on &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; grounds. The Scottish authorities are dumb. If the guy was jailed for killing over 200 people, he wasn&#8217;t very &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; to others, was he?. Then, why free him on &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; grounds? Why treat humanely someone who showed no humanity? Healthy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life imprisonment: yes or no. This debate has briefly appeared on Spanish media in the last few days, after a young woman was murdered in Sevilla. The Spanish penal code does not consider life imprisonment for any type of crime. Those against this type of sentence argue that the Spanish Constitution does not admin life [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia has been hit by enormous wildfires, and not-so-wild ones too. Now authorities suspect some of those fires were actually arson. This seems to be a recurring theme everywhere in the world where supposedly wildfires break out. It&#8217;s the same story in the U.S., Greece, Spain and many other countries. However, this time in Australia, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend (Jan 31, 2009) Madrid has seen at least two public demonstrations related to the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution: one on them in favor, the other against it. As usual, there&#8217;s people for everything. All Cubans I&#8217;ve met, in the U.S. and Spain, are against Castro&#8217;s dictatorship, so I&#8217;ve never met an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t commented much about the election in USA in this blog. Lots has been said about it and about the two main candidates, McCain and Obama. The big news headlines, as always, did not discuss the issues and the actual political programmes of these two gentlemen. Likewise, the main reasons influencing people&#8217;s votes are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Madrid today took place the public screening of the third U.S. presidential debate. It was originally scheduled for last Thursday, October 16, to be followed by a local debate between Madrid-based democrats and republicans. The screening was later moved to October 18 (today). When I got there I noticed fewer people than at the [...]]]></description>

They claim they are trying to reactivate the financial sector, to encourage banks to offer loans to small businesses and people, and to other banks. Other cases of government intervention are focused on preventing banks from going bankrupt. This is all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late last month (July 2008), it became known that the U.S. would execute the death sentence of soldier Ronald Gray after his conviction for rape and murder. The decision is correct and must be applauded. The death penalty should be applied more frequently in similar cases. The execution of such criminals may not necessarily heal [...]]]></description>

When I read such material, I feel the need to reply in the form of an article in this blog, but I can rarely find the time.
