POPSSavage Capitalism in the Post-Communist World
Although China has grabbed most of the headlines for poisonous toys, Russia has quietly gone to pieces as well. What is happening in these countries is not merely the residual effects of the failure of communism, it is a violently selfish mentality, perhaps born in the desperation of bread lines, but now blooming in the vacuum of law and order created by the collapse of the Communist system. In China and Russia both we see the values espoused by George Bush and his Neo-Conservative gang taken to their horrific logical extreme. Customers have become a commodity. Wealth is the only guarantor of safety and power. Corporations and corruption rule the government. The fanatical pursuit of wealth for its own sake has taken over, leaving the average citizen to fend for themselves in a frightening wilderness of indifference and exploitation. The blazing fires of this economic explosion are fueled by an icy detachment from the basic human traits of empathy and compassion.

POPSWhat kind of people have we become? I came across this song from the political activists, The jKirks, who use music to send a message of peace. Why should Peace take a backseat to the ugliness of Torture, what kind of people have we become?

POPSPenmanship takes a back seat in elementary schools Handwriting and even printing has gotten worse and even more disasterous in some cases over the past 10 years- I have definitely seen how how the printing looks takes a huge backseat in the upper grades. It is as if teachers of upper grades no longer care about how the students' work looks and they just assume that the student(s) could write nicer if they really had to. While I am all for daily practice in handwriting, I recommend that the cursive handwriting does not officially start in schools until about grade 5... students aged 5 to 9 should focus on basic printing first- if you rush it, all their writing will morph into illegible messes. They can't all be doctors!
