		<description>David -- interesting article.  I was struck by your remark that "people see giving money as a rather uninteresting form of engagement."  I think there's a lot of truth to that, and I'm wondering if you could say more.  I think you've hit on an important social issue that we need to spend more time grappling with.

One of GGG's values as a company is to "celebrate the giving of money."  I have to strongly agree with your assessment, both from personal experience and as a professional observation, that a lot of people have difficulty seeing anything to celebrate within the process of asking for and receiving money donations.  I think it's one of our most important responsibilities.  How can we help change attitudes to result in more fundraising and more giving?</description>

		<description>Hey SJ, thanks for commenting!  I don't know how to mod my theme in that way, but I'll take it under advisement.  :-)  Know any related blogs I should link to?  I'm happy to do that.  Maybe I'll link to yours.  Thanks!</description>

		<description>Hello world!  You might want to mod your theme to say "leave a comment" instead of "no comments" when there aren't any yet... More context would also be nice -- perhaps you could link to related blogs from this one.</description>
