POPSSuspect Major Hasan Said His Goodbyes Before Rampage
Kim Rosenthal, another neighbor, said Hasan didn't seem too upset by his scratched vehicle, even though it was damaged so badly that he got a new one. "He said it was Ramadan and that he had to forgive people," Rosenthal said. "He forgave him and moved on." Hasan appeared less forgiving to Dr. Val Finnell when they were classmates in a 2007-08 master's public health program at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He said that at a class presentation by public health students, at which topics like dry cleaning chemicals and house mold were discussed, Hasan talked about U.S. military actions as a war on Islam. Hasan made clear he was a "vociferous opponent" of U.S. wars in Muslim countries, Finnell said. "He made himself a lightning rod for things," Finnell said. "No one picked on him because he was a Muslim." Law enforcement officials said they are trying to confirm if Hasan wrote Internet postings that include his name about suicide....

POPSNonviolence As Their Weapon "It was 2001. Khatib watched in horror as Israeli soldiers shot an unarmed friend at a checkpoint. Two weeks later, the militant Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade made a revenge attack on the checkpoint, killing seven soldiers. "My first reaction was 'Good for Al Aqsa!' " Khatib said. Then he realized the dead soldiers belonged to a different unit, not the one on duty when his friend was shot. "It made me wonder: This cycle of death, of violent action and reaction, how we can break it?"

POPSMeet Ron Bloom, Manufacturing Czar, Maoist (In his own words and flesh) "generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system...We know this is largely about power, that it is an adults only, no limit game ( huh?). WE AGREE WITH MAO THAT POLITICAL POWER COMES LARGELY FROM THE BARREL OF A GUN, and we get it, that if you want a friend, you should get a dog. "

POPSChito & Pocho A Friendship That Defies Natural Instinct
This is a more amazing story because in the not too distant past I had this vivid dream one night. I tend not to be a sleeping dreamer. In the dream, I was sitting on some rocks (so I thought) and they were in a circular shape. In the middle was water and there was a pod of dolphins (luminously shining) swimming. On the other side of the rocks were humans clambering all over the rocks (which turned out to be the crocodiles tail). At some point I became aware that the rocks I was sitting on weren't rocks at all. I was sitting on the head of a giant crocodile and I had my feet on its eyes holding them closed. I suspected it was to keep the "humans" safe. At some point I decided to take my feet of the crocodiles eyes but cannot remember any more of the dream... I wrote about the dream to a dear friend and said, "How amazing it would be if humans somehow learned to overcome their fear and befriend the crocodile." And then I found this - AWESOME!!!

POPSStop Saying, "Not My Type." “Nah, not my type,” Jack whispered to me. This was at a party we attended last weekend, where a common friend introduced us to a pretty girl. Considering that he always emphasizes on the need to “think out of the box,” his boxed idea of making friends was rather surprising.
