POPSWhy so many minds think alike? You're in a room with 10 other people who seem to agree on something, but you hold the opposite view. Do you say something? Or do you just go along with the others?

POPSShock greets Schwarzenegger's proposal to end welfare Not "end welfare as we know it" – end welfare . More: That's hard for Michelle — a San Jose mother of a 2-month-old — to believe. The loss of CalWORKS would mean no diaper money, no rent payments and no independence from her baby's father, who she said abused her and kept drugs in the house. Her $584 monthly grant has allowed her to receive child care, attend DeAnza College and buy groceries while she works her way to self-sufficiency. Michelle, who is 26 and did not want her last name used, echoed other CalWORKS clients interviewed who said quite simply that the assistance keeps their families off the streets. "CalWORKS is a lifeline between whether we eat or not and whether we have a roof over our head or electricity and gas," said Vivian Hain, a Berkeley single mother of three who testified about Schwarzenegger's proposal before state legislators Wednesday.

POPSCookies, not torture, did the trick We used chess, not waterboarding, on the Nazis. And honestly, there seem to be people out there who, even if they believed a cookie and a pat on the head worked, wouldn't support it. Because you "showing weakness" is bad. Being seen as strong is more important that actual results. It's also buying into the racist meme that "Those people only respect violence". Beware of all those in whom the urge to punish is strong. -Goethe
