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.

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.

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 Only a public outcry repealed part of that law, with some "exceptions."

POPSSocialization? This is a great comment to a super post. When people ask homeschoolers about "socialization," they may not realize that school socialization is really indoctrination. Homeschoolers have no problem learning to be sociable (interacting with other people), but they often do not fit the "mold" of good little cogs of the state. This trait may make them seem like misfits. But the issue is not that they are socially inept, it's that they are individuals.

POPSThe Party of Principle I clipped this because someone asked for more information. Full disclosure: I have been a member for 7 years and for two years I served as the media director of the LP in my county and two more years I served as the media director of the LP in my state (yes, 4 yrs total I served on the board of party directors on some level). I have also run for state office, two times on the LP ticket.
