POPSHistorian: Genocidal Napoleon was as barbaric as Hitler The Haitians fought to the death for independence, which they finally declared in 1804. Prisoners on both sides were regularly tortured and killed, and their heads were mounted on the walls of stockades or on spikes beside the roads. Non-combatants, too, were raped and slaughtered. According to contemporary accounts, the French used dogs to rip black prisoners to pieces before a crowd at an amphitheatre. Allegdly on Napoleon's orders, sulphur was extracted from Haitian volcanoes and burned to produce poisonous sulphur dioxide, which was then used to gas black Haitians in the holds of ships - more than 100,000 of them, according to records. The use of these primitive gas chambers was confirmed by contemporaries. Antoine Metral, who in 1825 published his history of the French expedition to Haiti, writes of piles of dead bodies everywhere, stacked in charnel-houses.

“The possibilities of print have just begun. In two years, I hope this looks like cellphones did in 1982, or car phones.” Science fiction readers have been looking forward to this development for a long time, and can give us an idea of what this technology will look like in coming years. For example, writer Greg Bear had a very clear view of the Esquire E-ink cover in 2003 in "Darwin's Children." He wrote about e-paper covers with speaker chips.

POPSWhat Should Uncle Sam Do? I like the sound of the phrase "socialized capitalism"..... Every time someone mentions that there should be more regulation of the greedy corporations, some ditto-head conservative yells "Socialism!". I gues they would rather have "Socialized Capitalism" in which the CEO's of these large corporations get to go home each year with millions of dallars in income, while the rest of us bail out their failed businesses.....nothing but greed and corruption!

POPSThe Seasoned Flag cont': There underneath the broken toys, the seasoned flag did lay. A curious man stopped by, before the trash machine arrived, What is that under the toys? Can this flag be revived? Attached to the cord from Old Glory’s top, an eagle caught his eye, The bird and the flag permanently attached, as friends they would survive. The man looked them over with a tear in his eye, How could anyone toss out such a symbol of life? “A new home awaits you,” Old Glory was told, As the man shook off dirt and did carefully fold. Once home, the flag safe, the man told his wife, Of the story of finding this symbol of life. They cried as they thought of how proudly it waved, At the home of another and what joy that it gave. They found the right place to display this seasoned one, Now Old Glory stands tall, gently waving in the sun.

POPSFuture Human: The Evolution of Immediate Emotion Humans, apparently, are still in the early stages of evolving extended response mechanisms. But it seems likely that by the time we portion more of our brain to long-term dangers, there will be few grizzly bears around to worry about, and a whole lotta global warming.

POPSGore: US Must Have Carbon-Free Energy by 2018 Good thinking. To my mind, the most common consumer-side energy source in the future will probably be the battery. What we need is clean energy to charge them. This is also a step toward getting off coal. Everyone accepts that we've got to get off oil, but coal burning remains an unmentioned problem.
