		<description>I have been struggling with herpes for a long tie, I appreciate the information - it gives me hope. Maybe researchers will figure this wretched disease out before too long.</description>

		<description>Rohde,

Your articles are much more enjoyable when you don&#039;t write about Oklahoma college football. 
That includes EVERY university and college in Oklahoma -- not just OSU or OU.

You&#039;re too judgemental and opionated to be objective.

Stick to other sports things that won&#039;t involve your oversized ego and the world will be a much better place.</description>

		<description>&quot;our future SuperSonics &quot;

John, 
It&#039;s already been published that: 
---The Ford Center would only be a &quot;temporary&quot; solution and a new building would be required for the Sonics. 
---OKC would be a &quot;partner&quot; in all of the Sonics relocation costs. 
Are the people of OKC foolish enough to help pay Clay&#039;s way out of Seattle, and then fork over hundreds of millions to build a new arena (even though the Ford Ctr is brand new)??  
Naturally, Clay plays himself up as a local hero. His wife&#039;s family owning the only newspaper in town is a convenient tool to brainwash the locals also. It would seem the pieces are in place for a classic &quot;don&#039;t look at the public financing ripoff - no, instead welcome Clay as a hero because he&#039;s bringing you the NBA !!!&quot; 
In fact, I sense that they&#039;ll skip right over a public vote and give Clay an ATM card to the city funds. 
Nevermind that neither the NBA nor a tax funded arena has never had a positive economical impact on any city anywhere ever. 
So John, here&#039;s the question -- Will Oklahoma City residents stand up before they get railroaded by Clay and his buddies in the local political leadership?  -OR - Will Oklahoma City hand Clay an ATM card for direct access to the city funds?</description>
