		<description><![CDATA[
 Technology, specifically the Web, is a grand theodicy of the early 21st century.  In the face of evil and societal failures it gives birth to new identities— souls— for individuals, nurtures the ever so important Libertarian freewill, grants such individuals the power to do great evil, and recognizes postmodern natural laws— a stable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What are the pros and cons of President Obama’s proposed 2010 budget plan for the philanthropic and nonprofit community and society more generally? It appears that when we weigh the costs and benefits, nonprofits and citizens generally will come out ahead. Unfortunately, most of the organized philanthropic community (not necessarily representing most nonprofits) and several politicians have come out against the changes, narrowly framing the issue around what impact the proposed tax changes will have on the wealthiest donors. But the wealthy donors’ perspective is only part of the story (and a perspective that has dominated philanthropy for too long). It is also very unclear as to whether or not the tax changes really will have a net negative effect on donors’ giving. It’s important that we recognize that the budget plan represents a fundamental shift in the role of government and philanthropy in our society—a shift in the interest of the greater good.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while, I come up with an idea to solve a problem that I&#8217;m often not an expert in, but that seems to make sense. I like to run these ideas by others to get their input and hopefully come up with an even better idea. I recently started re-reading Jonathan Kozol&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

A recent feature by cnn.com collected personal stories of difficulty during this downturn. Repeatedly, and even when the situations were very dire, some version emerged of, “we are fortunate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is natural to ask the question, “When will things get better?” However, that could be a very misleading question. It is not difficult a stretch to claim that values of consumerism were pervasive, but not sustainable. The consequence was the creation of a consumer-based economy that was dependent on people living beyond their means, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Within the current world of policy and administration, efficiency has become an important if not overarching goal. Arguments for privatization and program elimination have been based almost solely on whether or not a program is efficient. The PART program under the administration of George W. Bush rated programs at various levels of efficiency and then based their budget recommendations on [...]]]></description>
