		<description><![CDATA[One of the lessons of identity politics is that success requires knowing not just what you’re for, but also what you’re against. Blacks are for racial justice and against racism. Women are for gender equity and against sexism.

		<description><![CDATA[Bleeding-Heart Liberals Proven Right: Too Much Inequality Harms a Society
by Robert W. Fuller and Thomas Scheff
An important new book substantiates something progressives have long intuited. Published first in Britain and now headed for the United States, it’s by epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson and health researcher Kate Pickett, and its title conveys its message: The Spirit Level: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pamela Gerloff just posted at HuffPost re the dignity-based Community Model for prison reform that shows great promise in radically reducing recidivism. See her post at:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pamela-gerloff/what-if-released-inmates_b_217100.html

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama heralds a new politics of dignity. Dignitarian politics transcends traditional libertarian and egalitarian politics to embrace equal dignity for all.
