		<description><![CDATA[There is a lot of debate about whether it&#8217;s good to apply the label &#8216;gifted&#8217; or bad.  Certainly a lot of people reject the label, possibly because gifted is a terrible word and there is ambiguity as well as misconceptions about what being a gifted adult is.  There doesn&#8217;t seem to be much discussion about [...]]]></description>
