		<description><![CDATA[Many so called &#8220;pro-lifers&#8221; mistakenly equate abortion rights with favoring abortion. That is far from the truth. The right to abortion is about putting the decision in the hands of the pregnant woman (and her god, if she believes in one) rather than the government imposing its values on her. Mario Cuomo, the former New [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I returned from a 6-week trip to the US the other day. I have been looking for an opportunity to write about the presidential campaign there in this space. Unsure of what exactly to write,  I have had the idea of something with the view of an ex-patriot filtered through an international perspective. This is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things about the city of Buenos Aires that appeals to me is how the city retains an individual character. In many cities I see a homogenization taking place. New York is a prime example, in that since the Guliani and Bloomberg administrations took hold, the city has not only gotten safer on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel like I am saying the all-too-obvious when I say that Barack Obama&#8217;s candidacy is important for racial reasons. In the general campaign he himself has emphasized what he offers aside from his African heritage. Hillary Clinton and John McCain too have mostly tiptoed around the race issue. As a liberal white male I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I have been discussing various current events in Argentina. There has been the farm strike, the persistent smoke from extensive prairie fires, plus other tidbits. These two themes are still quite present with a new rural strike beginning yesterday. We&#8217;ll see if the meat disappears from the neighborhood markets again. Meanwhile, the fires from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One morning last week I first noticed the smell of a campfire. Then the other afternoon as I set out to walk with my dog Clyde there was a thick smoky haze in the air and a strong smell of fire. Enough to irritate my eyes and lungs. I asked a neighbor on the street [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First I must state my personal disclaimer. I believe that there is no such thing as &#8220;bias-free journalism.&#8221; If a journalist or newspaper is doing their job, they must interpret what they see and also decide what or what not to put on paper. All writing demands decisions like this. A journalist&#8217;s personal perspective decides [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is an unusual moment here in Argentina. There is no meat. In a country famous for beef, most markets are without. It would be like Japan without fish, or Italy without pasta. I recently wrote about a trip through the province of Entre Rios. Right now that province is in-passable. Farmers and their supporters [...]]]></description>

Roll back a few years in history, make that nearly 20, and I was in art school in New York, and with my first boyfriend Robert, still waking up about my sexuality and other things of adulthood. As a California native, my family was far away, but Robert&#8217;s family instantly accepted me and embraced [...]]]></description>

We call her &#8220;Pato Chaco&#8221; so as not to confuse her with my friend Pato, who we refer to as &#8220;Pato Macho.&#8221; He&#8217;s hardly [...]]]></description>
