    <outline description="Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together. Gmail can't always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we're launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help." htmlUrl="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-stop-sending-mail-you-later.html" type="link" text="Official Gmail Blog: New in Labs: Stop sending mail you later regret" url="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-stop-sending-mail-you-later.html">

    <outline description="To be sure, bailouts can hit CEOs, top management, and institutional shareholders hard, above all through loss of employment and loss of bonuses. But bailouts have economic and social costs that are not covered by the assets. And bailouts raise the question of moral hazard&#8212;the problem that people behave recklessly if they are not responsible for the consequences of their actions. Indeed, banks are allowed to fail whereas other financial institutions are rescued. Who decides on that and on what grounds?" htmlUrl="http://www.telospress.com/main/index.php?main_page=news_article&amp;amp;article_id=271" type="link" text="How to Break the Bubble Cycle" url="http://www.telospress.com/main/index.php?main_page=news_article&amp;amp;article_id=271">

    <outline description="It would be a grave mistake to underestimate the right's ability to use this crisis -- created by deregulation and privatization -- to demand more of the same. Don't forget that Newt Gingrich's 527 organization, American Solutions for Winning the Future, is still riding the wave of success from its offshore drilling campaign, &amp;quot;Drill Here, Drill Now!&amp;quot; Just four months ago, offshore drilling was not even on the political radar and now the U.S. House of Representatives has passed supportive legislation. Gingrich is holding an event this Saturday, September 27 that will be broadcast on satellite television to shore up public support for these controversial policies." htmlUrl="http://www.naomiklein.org/articles/2008/09/now-time-resist-wall-streets-shock-doctrine" type="link" text="Now is the Time to Resist Wall Street's Shock Doctrine | Naomi Klein" url="http://www.naomiklein.org/articles/2008/09/now-time-resist-wall-streets-shock-doctrine">

    <outline description="As we've seen over and over since the general election started, when the campaign is at equilibrium, Obama runs ahead of McCain by somewhere between 3 and 7 points &#8212; which is why McCain and his people are constantly, and somewhat desperately, trying to unsettle that equilibrium with gimmicks, shocks, and stunts. The selection of Palin. The &amp;quot;suspension&amp;quot; of McCain's campaign. The transparently bogus threat of bailing out of the first debate unless a bailout plan for the financial system was agreed to on Capitol Hill. The problem with these gambits is diminishing returns: each one has less effect than the last.

    <outline description="The banality of heroism concept suggests that we are all potential heroes waiting for a moment in life to perform a heroic deed. The decision to act heroically is a choice that many of us will be called upon to make at some point in time. By conceiving of heroism as a universal attribute of human nature, not as a rare feature of the few &amp;quot;heroic elect,&amp;quot; heroism becomes something that seems in the range of possibilities for every person, perhaps inspiring more of us to answer that call." htmlUrl="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/greatergood/archive/2006fallwinter/francozimbardo.html" type="link" text="The Banality of Heroism" url="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/greatergood/archive/2006fallwinter/francozimbardo.html">
