		<description><![CDATA[During Google&#8217;s formative years, the company decided to come up withthe equivalent of a short mission / vision statement that summed up what it was to be Google.  After some serious thinking, the slogan emerged.  &#8216;Do No Evil&#8217;.  Nice&#8230;although as someone pointed out &#8211; it really is just civilised good manners to do no evil.  [...]]]></description>

The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business.

		<description><![CDATA[I read this short story again recently; it&#8217;s by Ursula Le Guin and is one of the most haunting short stories that I&#8217;ve ever read.  The only short story that sticks with me more than this one is Parke Godwin&#8217;s &#8216;Stroke of Mercy&#8217;, which is stunning. I&#8217;d suggest you go and read &#8216;The Ones Who [...]]]></description>
