		<description><![CDATA[This quote comes from Giorgio Agamben&#8217;s short article &#8216;On Security and Terror&#8216;, originally written for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, September 20, 2001.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having a bit fun plagiarising adapting the Hallmarks of the Peoples&#8217; Global Action to the ideas of the Urmadic University. This is where I&#8217;ve got so far. Comments welcome.
