POPSAmerican Generations and Historical Change Crisis. A Crisis is a decisive era of secular upheaval. The values regime propels the replacement of the old civic order with a new one. Wars are waged with apocalyptic finality. Examples of Crisis eras include the Wars of the Roses (1459-1487), the Spanish Armada Crisis (1569-1594), the colonial Glorious Revolution (1675-1704), the American Revolution (1773-1794), the American Civil War (1860-1865), and the twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II (1932-1945), and now possibly the present time from September 11th, 2001. High. A High is an era between a Crisis and an Awakening. The most recent High was seen between World War II and the Consciousness Revolution.

POPSUS 'armada' enters Gulf This is bad news. I think war with Iran is a bad idea. I do not believe Bush is playing this right. I think his view is that he will not leave this for the next president, so he will engage. This is not good!

POPSOUTPOST EARTH
The Hubble space telescope has revealed images of our Universe that until recently would have been incomprehensible. The vastness of the universe with its billions of galaxies overwhelms the mind and humbles the human sprit. A new armada of advanced telescopes scans the Heavens for Planets. These new juggernauts have already discovered dozens of Planets circling their stars in a timeless dance millions of light years away. There is little doubt among astronomers that hundreds if not thousands of planets will be eventually documented. A number of new deep space telescopes are in the works and scheduled for deployment in the next few years. One already emerging theme is that Earth like planets are rare, while gaseous giants and solid rock planets are the norm. Even though this developing search is in its earliest stages, finding Earth like planets will be equivalent to finding Gold or Diamonds here on our own globe. Our planet would be seen as a great treasure to anyone looking back
