		<description><![CDATA[Most of us growing up in the Unites States have learned that hitchhiking is dangerous. Don&#8217;t attempt it and certainly don&#8217;t pick up someone on the side of the road with their thumb out.

No longer do consumers simply want a good product &#8211; they want to stand for something they believe in at the same time.
