		<title>Idea: Why can&#8217;t I pay less for buying a complete outfit?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I get up in the morning, I shuffle through the same small number of tops and bottoms that I trust go somewhat together. I like wearing the same thing every week. I imagine that I&#8217;m not that different than the average male who wears clothing. What if retail clothing establishments sold outfits. That is, [...]]]></description>

		<title>When does free stop feeling like free online?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Web Ecology colleague Sara is moderating a panel at SXSW this year on how free services online are not free because you are paying for the service by willingly offering your data to them.

		<title>Anyone find it odd that Fox News personalities compare themselves to Network&#8217;s Howard Beale?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;m jumping on this rant pretty late in the game but I just watched the 1976 film Network for the first time last night.

		<title>How many members of Congress have read Profiles in Courage?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is an unfortunately timeless paragraph from John F. Kennedy&#8217;s Pulitzer Prize winning Profiles in Courage: &#8220;Today the challenge of political courage looms larger than ever before. For our everyday life is becoming so saturated with the tremendous power of mass communications that any unpopular or unorthodox course arouses a storm of protests such as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do Different Generational Perspectives on Patriotism and War Line Up?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m curious about how well Remarque&#8217;s perspective in All Quiet on the Western Front resonates with today&#8217;s soldiers as they think about the teachers, mentors, and media that encourage us to fight. Seems like a timeless observation: &#8220;While they continued to write and talk, we saw the wounded and dying. While they taught that duty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An article in this week&#8217;s issue of The Economist compared tax policies across a number of countries. Specifically, the article looked at the way countries&#8217; tax revenues were sourced from income, consumption, and property taxes.
