POPSCIA Drug-Running vs. the Phony War on Drugs If there really was a "war on drugs" by U.S. government it would necessitate targeting covert ops by the CIA and other rogue operations. In addition to this article please recall that under the Taliban all poppy production was banned and punished in Afghanistan, but is now again a booming agricultural product since Afghanistan was "liberated" from those kind of laws. The U.S. government clearly says one thing to the American people (using tax dollars for Ad Council advertising too) while doing another behind their backs, even aiding and abetting the trafficking and social degeneracy of the drugs, for profit of course.

POPSThe Assasination of Benazir Bhutto When in power, corruption hemmed in around her, and her visions were stalemated by the reality of bureaucratic government. She was at her best when she was disenfranchised, chiding those in control. In power she was a bureaucrat, but in opposition she was an icon. Now she has died as icons die, as opposition leaders die, in an explosive annihilation of waves of humanity. ...at the back gate of a park after a speech, on the eve of her comeback.

POPSAmerica's Outsourced Jobs Taking Toll on Indian Workforce This last gift, I wouldn't wish on anybody. All those US jobs that went away to India are now taking their toll on the Indians who took on the outsourced tasks. My Gran used to say that "money isn't everything, especially if you aren't going to be around to enjoy it." It looks like a lot of these folks are feeling the strain of trying to balance a "good job" with good mental and physical health.

POPSThe Economy Is Almost As Frightful As The Weather Ouch, GWB is definitely not going to want to wear this hideous beast. Despite the mad rush of consumers for last minute Christmas goodies, according to Target (that's pronounced: "Tar-Jay"), holiday sales aren't looking so hot.

MandT at Adgita Diaries tells us that they let Crazy Uncle Ron out for the day and he made sure to tell all the kiddies about how a woman's place is in the home NOT in the House of Representatives.

POPSMyths about Multilingual Societies Myth: If everyone agreed to speak only one language, we wouldn't have so much war and interethnic conflict. Reality: Of course people need a common language to understand one another. But that doesn't require eliminating minority languages; it only requires bilingualism. Switzerland has four official languages and has never had a war. Finland has three (Finnish, Swedish, and Lapp). Hawai'i has had two co-official state languages since 1978 -- English and Hawaiian -- and no civil strife has resulted. On the other hand, much of the conflict in the world has erupted in places where there is only one language. For example, in the U.S.'s own Civil War, both sides spoke English. Khmer-speaking Cambodians under Pol Pot killed millions of other Khmer-speaking Cambodians. Thus language is not the "glue" that binds us together. What really binds us as a nation is a common belief in freedom, including the freedom to speak any language we please.

POPSDog rescues owner that forgot keys The dog Anna woke her owner up when there was a fire. They both got out, but the owner, a janitor, forgot her keys. She went back inside, and Anna followed her back, and led her out , leading her through the smoke. I've seen a few dogs rescuing owners stories over the past month, and there seems to have been one thing in common. The dogs had generally been stray, or adopted from the pound after being abused by previous owners. The dogs were proving they can be grateful, Perhaps seeing it as repaying in kind.

POPSHow the Neocon-Christian Right Alliance Brought Down the House of Bush C. UNGER: I traveled undercover with Tim LeHay, who is the prophet of the "Left Behind" series. I traveled with him to the battlefield of Armageddon, where they believe the final conflict would take place. Megiddo is -- from Megiddo, we get the term Armageddon, where the final conflict will take place. And I was walking up the hill with LeHay and about ninety of his followers, and as you look over this spectacularly beautiful pastoral valley . They see that it will be filled with blood, the blood of as many as two billion people. And I talked with them about that, and they say there will be a river of blood, 200 miles long, about four-and-a-half feet deep. And I asked one of them when all this would take place. And they said, “Very soon, but not soon enough. Any day now.” So they see this fantasy is taking place, and this is sort of one of the horrific visions that is spelled out in the Book of Revelation.

POPSImmunize Your Children Or Go To Jail
I am adamantly opposed to any sort of mandatory, forced or imposed vaccination programs. I do NOT trust the pharmaceutical companies. Last time I was vaccinated, I was deathly sick for three days and thought I was going to die! Despite this, blood tests showed that I still hadn't developed the necessary amount of antibodies for the vaccine to be effective and I was advised to have the vaccination again! Yeah right!! In your dreams Dr. Death! *LOL* One of my cats is also extremely sensitive to vaccinations and gets SO sick too. Vaccinations and medicine are NOT one size fits all. No-one should be forced to have anything injected into them or their children (or pets.) I'll take my chances against the bugs any day, rather than being bumped off by the vaccination itself! If this were imposed upon me or my kids (or pets), they would be home schooled instantly or we would leave the state. End of story. There's a little video at the site, but it wouldn't clip.

POPSIs The Government Secretly Testing Americans? "It turns out, until just nine years ago the government had the right, under U.S. law, to conduct secret testing on the American public, under specific conditions. Only a public outcry repealed part of that law, with some "exceptions."
