		<description><![CDATA[The quote below is from Clay Shirky&#8217;s piece on &#8220;Gin, TV and Social Surplus&#8221;  in which he describes how our American cousins spend 200 billion hours a year watching TV, which he equates to 100 million hours each weekend just watching the ads!!!

I admit that I have not explored the site closely, but although it looks like it might have some good things in there, it&#8217;s interesting that brand association (MIT / NBC) and marketing can reposition a social [...]]]></description>

It is said that many people sell their souls and live with good conscience on the proceeds. I know for a fact there are rats in good schools.

Negative feedback can be delivered politely or impolitely, sensitively or insensitively, but is [...]]]></description>

 &#8220;NATALIE Karam, a second-year university law student, recently changed classes because she was so uncomfortable about the ideological stance of one of her lecturers.&#8221;
