		<description>Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It&#039;s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.</description>

		<description>Things can only change for the better in South Africa if it has the political will.
And as yet there seems little hope with this government, as little has changed for most in 15 years of rule,in fact a lot worse.
What can be done to change the mindset of ANC Voters who continue to suport them.
I wouled sugest a wide distribution of George Orwells Animal Farm in at least four main languages just to remove the blinkers of future voters who don&#039;t believe some are more equale than others</description>

		<description>Hi I am in a similar position as Louis, and fully agree with him, especially on educated election votes. 
I Had an opportunity 3 years ago to work in the channel islands and left everything in SA as it is, car, house, pets and half our furniture as this opportunity was only temporary.  
Now my 3 years here are up and I have decided to extend my stay here - my heart desperately wants to go back to SA, however I have 2 sons and they have amazing opportunities here - the education is phenomenal - my eldest just completed his A-levels at a top grammar school here and is planning to go to a UK University which will be affordable earning pounds (yes, even at about £15 000 per annum)- I can never expect him to go to a SA university or expect my 14 year old to go back to a SA school with such inferior education - even a private school in SA cannot top the current level of education they receive here.
I will ALWAYS be a very very proud Saffa, and never left my country with negative thoughts or for negative reasons - my eyes have however opened wide being in a first world country.  I will learn every skill I can here in the UK, and will hopefully, when the time is right and my children have received 1st class education, go back and contribute to SA, should I, as a white female be allowed to.
Another part of my childrens&#039; education is the travel opportunities they have here, school trips and family trips.  Last year was a very bad financial year for our family due to the recession, however, we still managed trips to London Central, France, Spain, Istanbul and Pakistan - these are the benefits we have earning pounds and being more central.
For almost 3 years I have managed to rationalise my irrationality about making an emotional decision with my heart about returning to SA.  I have decided to listen to my head and not return for my sons&#039; sake no matter how sad and miserable I get when I miss my home, pets and family - I focus on the bigger picture and for them SA is no longer the safe good bigger picture.</description>
