Culture Clash - Muslims in the Workplace
I posted this blog quickly today in response to a discussion on the airport security dogs thread. In my rush, I neglected to link it here, and thought you might all be interested.

Corporations Afraid of Losing Prison & Child Labor?
Rachel Maddow transcript:
The new rules for Wall Street and the banks will also create a consumer financial protection agency. So in the same way that regulation keeps off the market things that, when used as directed, have a good chance of killing you, things like long darts, or cars with the fuel tank right next to the bumper.
A consumer financial protection agency would keep off the markets, say, really bad mortgages that, when used as directed, are likely to blow up in your face as well.
Be green at work. It's actually easier than I thought.
We spend everyday at work so why not make it Eco-friendly as well. First start at your cubicle. Then who knows the whole building might follow your steps to working at a much greener place.
