POPSHopes for the Future I hope that new government programs and spiderwebs of red tape do not pop up to interfere with American productivity, and that we can quickly get our financial footing again. We have to understand that an economic correction needs to take place and the only way out of the coming recession is to go through it. Efforts to avoid it can only prolong it. I hope we can somehow find our way back to sound money and reject corporate cronyism. We cannot address our budget problems at home without changing our disastrous foreign policy abroad. I am hopeful that the new administration can take on the mantle of peace and diplomacy in foreign policy that many Americans feel they were promised. Many other nations also have this hope, which exudes from their congratulatory sentiments offered after the election. They hope that national sovereignty will be respected. They hope that through diplomacy violence and war can be averted. I hope so too.

POPSThe "New-Deal" Mistake It Failed Before and It Will Fail Again Five years into the New Deal, in the winter of 1937-1938, two in 10 were again unemployed. President-elect Obama has said that "the one thing I can say with certainty is that we are going to need a stimulus package passed either before or after my inauguration." The idea, presumably, is that handing consumers a check - pre-Christmas bonus, perhaps - will encourage them to spend. Businesses will in turn benefit and then spend themselves. THE historical model that the Democrats are choosing to hold up as they ponder our financial crisis isn't Harry Truman's Fair Deal or Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. It is Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. At least three economic reforms under discussion now were also central in the New Deal package. Trouble is, these reforms didn't necessarily work well when they were first tried - and some failed outright.

POPSBarry Goldwater's Granddaughter: Why McCain Has Lost Our Vote
Also from the source: My grandfather (Paka) would never suggest denying a woman's right to choose. My grandmother co-founded Planned Parenthood in Arizona in the 1930's, a cause he supported. I'm not sure about how he would feel about marriage based on same-sex orientation. I think he would feel that love and respect for ones privacy is what matters most, not the intolerance and poor judgment displayed by McCain over the years. Paka respected our civil liberties and passed on the message that that we should conduct our lives standing up for the basic freedoms we hold so dear. Nothing about McCain, except for maybe a uniform, compares to the same ideology of what Goldwater stood for as a politician. The McCain/Palin plan is to appear diverse and inclusive, using women and minorities to push an agenda that makes us all financially vulnerable, fearful, and less safe. Nothing about the Republican ticket offers the hope America needs to regain its standing in the world

POPSNow Obama a Big Spender; Baby Killer
Divide & Conquer; Divide & Conquer...after the apparently failed effort to link Obama to Arabs, Muslims and "domestic terrorism," the new McCain-Palin pitch is on the sensitive and difficult topic of abortion, appealing to their evangelical Christian moralist base. Again and again I've been reminded of the words of an American writer, way back in the 1930's -- "When fascism comes to America, it will come carrying the flag and the cross." (Sinclair Lewis) It's a sad, sad issue; it's not something anybody really wants, like saying: "Wow, I want to go out today and have an abortion!" No,-- the Average Person -- the average person wants to do something like go out and buy a car, go out and have a nice meal, go out and get high, go out to the movies or a concert, go out and meet some cool people or cool person. IMO, it comes down to this: We should not be making laws to enforce our religious views on others. Using this as another "social values" issue is the real horror he

POPSToo Little, Too Late The comment by the woman who claimed that Obama was an Arab was the clinching justification that a large segment of the McCain supporters are deluded, gullible, and ignorant. It concerned me that people could be so easily manipulated into believing such fantastic claims. In some ways it reminded me of the frenzy I was told about in 1930's Germany against the already hated Jews and Gypsies. We've come too far in 50 years to allow this type of hate to enter back into American discourse.

POPS"Einstein Fridge . ."
Now Malcolm McCulloch, an electrical engineer at Oxford who works on green technologies, is leading a three-year project to develop more robust appliances that can be used in places without electricity. Einstein refrigerator His team has completed a prototype of a type of fridge patented in 1930 by Einstein and his colleague, the Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard. It had no moving parts and used only pressurised gases to keep things cold. The design was partly used in the first domestic refrigerators, but the technology was abandoned when more efficient compressors became popular in the 1950s. That meant a switch to using freons. Einstein and Szilard's idea avoids the need for freons. It uses ammonia, butane and water and takes advantage of the fact that liquids boil at lower temperatures when the air pressure around them is lower. 'If you go to the top of Mount Everest, water boils at a much lower temperature than it does when you're at sea level and that's because the pressure i
