		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Banks vs. Families, Who Will Come Out on Top?
The short version is that I studied the economics of the middle class and I began to see that credit products were becoming increasingly dangerous. Families didn&#8217;t know how much they were spending on credit and comparison among the products was practically impossible&#8230;
&#8230;.

		<description><![CDATA[I think Christine Gregoire&#8217;s sin tax is a mediocre approach to an excellent idea. In addition to taxing poor consumption, the tax plan should also create incentives for healthy foods. With that in mind, I present the  Washington State Health Improvement Tax. 
Rather than a flat tax on products that are &#8217;sin&#8217; items, tax [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After 50 hours of walking at my desk, a few shortcomings compelled me to action. Most of the treadmill surface was under the desk and not available for walking, forcing a shortened stride. It was also unsuitable for jogging or running. We left the treadmill on sliders, so it could be slid out for running. [...]]]></description>

Dear Panasonic,
Thank you for your consumer friendly web site. I was all ready to pull out my credit card and buy that camera. At the last minute, you intervened and saved me. 
PS: Consider hiring someone to finish setting up your shopping cart. Making it work properly in standards compliant browsers would be welcome too. [...]]]></description>

I was out of contract but I was in graduate school and tethering was my killer app. So I waited. Nine months later the price dropped, the first jailbreak was released, tethering was possible, and I ordered one.

The dock is a great feature, I&#8217;d buy one for the kitchen counter and another for my nightstand. I would not buy the keyboard dock. I&#8217;d buy the bluetooth keyboard instead, since it can be used with a Mac and the iPad. [...]]]></description>
