		<description><![CDATA[As an active participant in government affairs, I have seen my share of anonymous blogs and online reader comments under newspaper articles. At times, they can be quite unflattering to put it mildly. There is no question that many of the comments are robust and shed sunlight on issues of the day. But sometimes the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=franklinschoolcommittee.wordpress.com&blog=656811&post=315&subd=franklinschoolcommittee&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
