I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3606]]></link><description><![CDATA[A loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world.
