As said in this excellent article by Thomas Keown that I spotted in the Boston Metro on Thursday:

What makes it so strange is that we already know so much about other people. And that we want them to know so much about us. Almost everything in fact. Yet when it comes to questions of money, we clam up and shut down.

Keown goes on to talk about how people post pictures on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace that very well show aspects of a person that may be private. People don’t want to talk about money, though, seemingly. Why is that? I agree with his questioning of our priorities and that it is “backwards” that you can have sex with someone, performing the “most intimate physical encounter possible between two human beings…[and] unit[ing]…bod[ies]” and somehow come off as out of line about asking how much money that person makes.

A must-read, in my opinion.
