		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks back Klejdys passed along this feature piece in The Atlantic having to do with the economy and unemployment. It&#8217;s a solid read if you&#8217;ve got the time. The following passage though really caught my attention because it perfectly crystallizes a psychological trend in the people I grew up with.

It&#8217;s been weird crumpling up huge projects and plans that have become part of my identity, things I&#8217;d been working on for close to three years, and tossing them into the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The innocence of the Olympic hockey tournament is what really made it great. I imagine there are few honors greater than getting an opportunity to represent your country and by extension its people. That&#8217;s extra special to everyone, even the most hardened professionals. These athletes make millions every year and perpetuating that livelihood is what [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve said this before but it&#8217;s worth repeating: I honestly don&#8217;t care what professional athletes do with their personal lives so long as they&#8217;re not engaging in activities that would lead me to believe [...]]]></description>

Sometimes I find myself feeling a little desensitized when I hear of the latest tragedy even with the Internet making pictures and intimate details available just a few hours later. Then there are the shootings and the bombs and the terrorists. If you care about this stuff too much, it [...]]]></description>
