And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we really would like to see is lifetime supervision and GPS monitoring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40487]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we really would like to see is lifetime supervision and GPS monitoring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[... then the world 's mine oyster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22153]]></link><description><![CDATA[... then the world 's mine oyster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not just a bunch of guys climbing along some jungle gym and going through tunnels and shooting their guns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32998]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not just a bunch of guys climbing along some jungle gym and going through tunnels and shooting their guns in the air, ...
