Is there anything I can give you that you did not earn?
Or perhaps there’s something I can take from you that is not mine? 
If there is any way I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. 
Have a nice day.</description><title>The Government</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @govt)</generator><link>http://govt.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>“Take A Bow” - Muse

&lt;p&gt;Stockholm syndrome is a psychological&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology" title="Psychology"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed. The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrmalmstorg_robbery" title="Norrmalmstorg robbery"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of Kreditbanken&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreditbanken" title="Kreditbanken"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm" title="Stockholm"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28, 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, and even defended them after they were freed from their six-day ordeal.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://govt.tumblr.com/post/185310596</link><guid>http://govt.tumblr.com/post/185310596</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:39:51 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>“The Healing Game” - Van Morrison</title><description>&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://govt.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/167580250/tumblr_kop0fetYFJ1qzfwhx&amp;color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;“The Healing Game”&lt;/b&gt; - Van Morrison&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://govt.tumblr.com/post/167580250</link><guid>http://govt.tumblr.com/post/167580250</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:47:38 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness..."</title><description>““Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices.
