		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Bread and circuses&#8221; or bread and games from Latin: panem et circenses is a metaphor for handouts and petty amusements that politicians use to gain popular support, instead of gaining it through sound policy. The phrase is invoked not only to criticize politicians, but also to criticize their supporters for giving up their civic duty.In [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aimless1.wordpress.com&blog=3823059&post=659&subd=aimless1&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

i recently started taking my daily dose of vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin.

		<description><![CDATA[Thursday&#8217;s D.I.Y. Dharma class in Vancouver touched on contemplating your own death, a well known Buddhist object of meditation. Coincidentally, so did the previous Sunday&#8217;s meditation session with Zen monk Wayne Codling (Sojun Enso) in Victoria.
