POPSWhere are these troops going to come from? Yeah. Shocking - we don't have enough troops ; the troops in Fort Bragg live in a literal cess pool ; there is not enough health care (physical or mental) for the troops coming back ; enlistment is down (even though I've heard otherwise) - yes, there is a problem and we are already over-working the troops in Iraq & Afganistan and in turn, destroying families. I don't get it and this just pisses me off.

POPSHow the Wikipedia scanner works We have to teach kids how to properly use Wikipedia. Some teachers do not mind it's use while other's describe it as "the devil." I am slowly moving on the side where it is ok to use as a reference point but not as a source to cite. As one of our history teachers said, "You would not cite World Book, so why would you cite Wikipedia." Exactly! But I do think it is a pretty good resource. There have been tales of how people and companies are creating their own entries and this Wikipedia Scanner helps to assure that those individuals do not create their own biased entries. It's good to see that something is in place so hopefully Wikipedia does not turn into another marketing tool like MySpace and Facebook and Google.

POPSAll this killing to "save" the salmon I remember reading about how WA & OR have "approval" to kill sea lions but this is still shocking. I know that they have suspended fishing for salmon but is killing sea lions really going to help the population? Aren't there a lot of other factors as to why the salmon population is down? like over fishing by people? the lack of rain & snow in the mountains? the changing ocean temperatures? Not sure who shot them but it all seems a bit extreme to me. Though, I don't live in WA or OR so I'm not sure how big salmon fishing is for those communities...
