		<description><![CDATA[Most civilized people would consider it morbid to wear jewelry or clothing that displays the likeness of a hangman&#8217;s noose, an electric chair, or a guillotine.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most memorable church services I ever attended was a communion service preceded by a message on a controversial war. A young pastor began by honoring those members of the congregation who had family members or friends serving in our country&#8217;s military.
