Capitalism - Feudalism without the Kings
Tax the Rich
Website Wednesday - Good

OK, even though I'm about to use the word good for a third time this week, this website was too good to pass up, for many reasons.
My Good choice today seems to be used as a adjective like in Good Intentions or Good Ideas. But in its About section, it just calls itself Good and says:
GOOD is a collaboration of individuals, businesses, and nonprofits pushing the world forward. Since 2006 we've been making a magazine, videos, and events for people who give a damn.
What’s not to love? Currently, you can read about such things as the US annual hot dog eating contest, NASCAR and solar panels, and “shilling” the male birth control pill. Scroll down and you’ll see a headline saying that anti-war protests could be counter-productive.and the article goes on to discuss the sunk-cost effect based on recent research from psychologists from Washington University. They found that when people have invested in a lost cause (Afghan war) they don’t want to walk away from their investment (lives and money) but would rather pour more money and lives into it to prove their investment was worthwhile.
You get a lot of out-of-the-box articles like that from a video on how creativity can be nurtured to an article with 20 quotes on rape showing after the DSK scandal how different people around the world think about rape.
Good stuff here. (Damn, I can't get away from that word!) Go, take a look.
