POPSBush censors internet Under a Reagan-era policy revived by President Bush in 2001, USAID denies funding to non-governmental organizations that perform abortions, or that "actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."

POPSWhy can't we be friends with Cuba> A sketch of the history is in order. With Manifest Destiny policy of the 19th century, the United States declared all of Latin America and the Caribbean to be the America's “back yard”. As such, the US government claimed the right to decide what kinds of governments those countries have, to enforce US corporations right to plunder the resources and exploit the labor of those countries—with military force (including invasions of countries from Haiti to Nicaragua to Cuba at the turn of the 20th century) or CIA covert actions, including assassination of leaders who resist US domination.

POPSUS orders massive recall of beef Official obviously not too worried because the meat wasn't to be consumed by the rich and powerful. Anyway, most has been eaten because we were so slow to react.

POPSDes Moines Register discriminates against Kucinich when people go to various sites, non-partisan internet issue sites -- several of them are out there – internetstrawpoll.com/ , dehp.net/candidate/ , Minnesota Public Radio -- where you can list your issues and find out which candidate most closely matches your own ideas and ideals, Dennis Kucinich has consistently come out as the leading candidate, as the candidate whose views are most closely aligned with the vast majority of Americans. Not second, third, fourth, or fifth. First. So why do you only hear that Dennis Kucinich is polling in the single digits in national or statewide polls? I don’t know. You tell me. You really need to read the entire article. It lists polls where Dennis was first or close second. Yet these were never reported. The rich elite citizens do not want him in office; he is a threat to their empires.

POPSMental Health: Happy & Sad states This has been enlightening. Before being disabled I was a mental health social worker. Ya think I contributed to the fact that my state is in the happy list? It would be really great if I was able to help people -- anyway it would make me feel good.

POPSBirth date can affect personality Those born between September and December are more prone to panic attacks while there is growing evidence that schizophrenia is higher among those born in the late winter and early spring. "It is exactly what you would expect if it were temperature related," said Richard Wiseman, a professor of psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, who has examined the link between luck and the season of birth. "Many of the effects reverse in the two hemispheres." Professor John Eagle, a psychiatrist at Aberdeen University who has studied the relationships between season of birth and mental health, added: "The two main culprits are diet and the seasonal fluctuations in nutrition, and the increase in infections during the winter." Astrologers have seized on the findings as evidence that the stars influence personality. But scientists insist there are biological reasons behind the effects.

POPSTop Ten Uses For Vinegar. Some good cheap tips here. I have always used vinegar as a fabric softener, (no, there's no smell once the clothes are dry) and as scale remover. It's a good disinfectant too and it cleans stained aluminium. Put a bit in the water when you're washing windows and bling bling, their sparkling shiny and clean. Good for cutting through the muck on car windscreens too. Uhm... what else? :roll: Oh yeah, it's really, really cheap, non-toxic, pet- and child friendly, environmentally harmless and good for your health too. :) 10 Health Benefits of Vinegar Grandma knew that her old remedies worked even if she couldn't explain to the scientific world. She knew that diluting vinegar in the ear would help infections due to swimmer's ear. Now, the American Academy of Otolaryngology endorses this remedy. There's something to be said about how smart grandma was.

POPSKids overlooked in super-flu preparations Now I think I see the logic (twisted as it is) The poor children have no health care, so they die after spreading it to their poor parents -- we take the money saved on health care and welfare -- and spend it on a war with Turkey.

POPS73,000 UAW workers strike This is not a good time for a strike.....economically. They have a great health care package, and I can understand that they don't want any changes, but....many of us, sans unions, have taken severe cuts in health care, pensions, and wage increases.

POPSCan't fund the war if we give kids insurance The audience of carefully handpicked Republicans, HMO representatives and others making billions in health care rose to their feet and cheered wildly as the Marine band p layed America the Beautiful. The President acknowledged the applause, and called Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach and Merck CEO Richard Clark to the podium where the ceremony concluded with Clark presenting von Eschenbach the keys to a new Cadillac Accolaide in appreciation of the FDA's approval of the new Merck pill to cure death

POPSRep. Davis pushes for univeral health care Taking a swipe at the Republican Party's emphasis on moral politics, Davis said, "The strongest moral value is how you treat your old people, how you treat your children and how you treat your sick people."

POPS101 GI suicides must not be an afterthought Cutting V.A. benefits; horrific conditions in V.A. hospitals; making G.I.s pay for lost equipment, health insurance and some travel expenses; not providing the proper equipment or enough equipment; families having to spend money on proper helmets and vests; reclassifying injuries so they're not covered by the V.A.; not planning for or providing mental health care; extending tours of duty; gutting the National Guard leaving their loved ones at home with unprotected borders and no help in the event of an attack or national disaster.

POPSQuit complaining -- its bad for your health I can see both sides of this issue. Keeping things bottled up can cause physical health issues. Talking problems to death can cause mental health issues. hmmmmm It a appears that a healthy medium is called for.
