Furthermore, so long as we continue to be beholden to multinationals to obtain even basic necessities, we continue to reinforce an economic structure that systematically produces massive inequality and exploitation. While Nike or Coca-Cola may serve as figureheads, society’s ills are not the result of the actions of “a few bad [corporate] apples,” but rather the product of a generally problematic system. Thus, insofar as ethical consumerism’s effects are limited to these figureheads, as a general tactic it is clearly insufficient...
...communicates wirelessly with the GPS receiver, and quickly discovers its location. The turn-by-turn navigation experience was fairly positive, although on occasion it did point me in the wrong direction, as if a U-turn was part of the itinerary. It's no Garmin, but it passes the basic tests. The software costs $300 with the Bluetooth receiver. That may sound expensive along with a $300 phone, but it's still cheaper than most full-featured plug-and-play GPS navigators...
Moreover, the protesters are attacking a fundamental value of the state itself.

Burning the flag is not only offensive to Danes, it represents an outright rejection of integration by Islamic citizens and can bring nothing but further problems to Muslim relations there...
...friends-of alike ate, mingled, and compared yarmulke couture. Soccer ball-patterned and pleather options were discussed; no consensus was reached on which would best suit attendee Frankfurter Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz. Mark D. Lurie ’07 and his tablemates, sporting yarmulkes in tasteful basic black, almost made up for the sartorial impasse with a collaborative effort to generate “the Jewiest quote ever!” As the evening—by all accounts a resounding success, according to Hillel and Chabad event co-ordinators—drew to a close and Andrea...
...compilation falters a bit, mostly due to the lack of versatility. The problem is that this is supposed to display grime in all its forms, but for all the attempts at variety, it’s still hard to make a different sounding track while including the basic elements of the genre–offbeat drum slaps, arrhythmic, almost conversational vocals, and damn near the same beat every time. Grime, by definition, sounds almost the same. With all this repetition, it’s a lucky thing that there are no “bad” songs...
