POPSForget free gasoline! Car buyers want free guns Local law enforcement took calls from the media after the promotion was announced, but found nothing wrong with what the dealership is doing. "They're not doing anything illegal," said Lt. Randy Beshore of the Butler Police Department. "I think the misconception is that people thought they got the handgun right there at the dealership." Even so, the dealership has received threatening phone calls. "Someone who said they were with the ATF called and said 'You need to shut down this promotion right now or we're shutting you down.' I told them to bring their attorneys, I don't know if was real or fake," Muller said.

POPSReport: African conflict draining Billions All the things they should have done with the money. The report seems like a clear indication of what should have been done. What a Joke. They are given Money from the World Bank, Threatened, and then introduced to an arms dealer. Just look at who are the biggest arms dealers are and the way selling to both sides is business. If they keep the locals wiping themselves out, there is a fortune in gems minerals and stones, that will need protecting. Sorry, most of that belongs to De Beers

POPSChildren and Violence: Favelas of Brazil "Poverty, the institutionalization of drug factions, and the lack of access to the traditional work market is common to everyone who lives in the favela." Dowdney states. "Adolescents, particularly, are attracted to the social ascension and the status achieved by working with a drug gang." Dowdney adds, "Peer groups and family members, especially mothers, contribute to reasons why youths choose to get involved or not." It would be terrible of me to suggest that this is a parallel universe. But I often picture myself in situations like these... I'd be dead in no time. i'd be the yellow boy of the favela. and this is just one of the many regions in the world that are seeing this kind of violence. i just saw richard attenborough's gandhi... its an ok film, mostly uncritical... but if only the world had the courage this man had.
