POPSWar Made Easy War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

POPSDeath has a MySpace I have known about this site for a while now, I have to say I was shocked at first. I did and still do think it was created to make money, not to respect the dead as they say. I was interested in how people commented about the video. Most of them expressed their feelings or lack there of, or maybe these days its cool to be crude.

POPSVedanthangal - oldest bird sanctuary in India Best of all, villagers close to the sanctuary enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the migratory birds. Some have been quoted as saying they don't want any factories to ever come up in the area, as this will scare away the birds - like the birds go out in search of food, so they too (villagers) will go looking for work elsewhere! Their forefathers also helped identify poachers and had the British issue banning orders!

POPSChinese to assist USA on Korean POWs "The deal is expected to be publicly announced on Friday after final talks to work out details, the Pentagon said."
