- Actually just such cases are the reason that institutions of higher education established policies of "academic freedom." These policies state that, unlike other public/government officials, academics have unrestricted liberty to question "accepted wisdom" when they are both inside and outside (posted to Hampering Free Speech in Academia)

- I did vote today and not because I was promised any goodies. I got up at 6am and waited in line for 45 minutes. Not too bad! My wait was much worse 4 years ago! I have to say the (posted to Vote Today -- It's Cool!)

- I went and waited in line forever but had to get back to work. I'll leave work early to make sure I vote before the polls close. It was a pretty wonderful site to see so many people waiting to (posted to Vote Today -- It's Cool!)
- Fortunately I was able to vote midday, so I didn't have to wait. I live in a precinct with a large immigrant population, too, so the total number of registered voters is low -- I was #141 to vote with (posted to Vote Today -- It's Cool!)
- It took me two and a half hours to vote today. I went to what I thought was my polling place, where I voted in the primary, and waited for 90 minutes before I found out that because I moved (posted to Vote Today -- It's Cool!)
- I made it out to vote today but found that it was much less crowded than anticipated-hooray for that! I'm not sure if the news was trying to scare people with all the "early voting 12-hour-long-line talk" but it wasn't (posted to Vote Today -- It's Cool!)

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.
Hard Times
Poverty. Unemployment. Homelessness. Social insecurity. For issues like these we really need to spare some change. Give us your two cents to help put a hot meal of content on this table for others to consume, and give those less fortunate than ourselves some credit.Political Landscape
This terrain can be highly treacherous. Watch your step as you navigate the sifting sands of political agendas and government policies. Hopefully we can wipe away the slinging mud and scroll around for the truth that rarely dares to surface.Social Rights
Equality. Remember that? It's a mythical utopia most of us are still searching for. Let's stand up for the minorities and the moral injustices that many have to face every day. Let's discriminate against discrimination. Does that sound fair to you?Well-Being
Without our health, we have nothing. There are many things out there trying to harm us: AIDS; Pollution; Global Warming; Bird Flu; Medical bills. Some are natural, some are man-made, and unfortunately for us the list is endless. More posts here might be just the medicine we need.
It's good to feel needed.
