How to fix capitalism SAVE
PEOPLE
The recession and the crisis and banking are the least of the reasons for thinking that we need reforms. The crisis of capitalism goes much deeper: the influence big business has on governments (and the warped policies this leads to), increasing central control of the economy and the general move away from free markets. I have some modest proposals on how to fix capitalism.TAGS

I Blame the Boob-Window — Or: Why Girls Don't Read Comics - Monkey See Blog : NPR SAVE
PEOPLE
Your average superhero book continues to cater to the traditional, overwhelmingly male and heterosexual demographic. That means even a strong, well-rounded female character is invariably depicted as ... ah, well-rounded. And wearing a bustier. Or a belly shirt. Or, perhaps most indefensibly, a boob-window — the rendering of which often defies both gravity and human physiology, as we currently understand them. Now, sure — all superheroes, male and female, embody physical ideals that can be counted upon to instill body dysmorphic disorder in both sexes.
