POPSForecasts for the 25 Years... From the page: "A Crisis or an Opportunity? What Makes the Difference? The critical difference is whether you are prepared. If you’re aware of possible developments… if you see changes coming… you can take action and prepare yourself. In a rapidly changing world, new opportunities are emerging everywhere. If you get an advance notice of these possible changes, you can be ready. You can ride these waves of change to benefit your career, your business, your family and your investments." Why not changing ourselves as well? it seems as if all that will come should not affect us on deep levels, but why? part of preparation is accepting the changing of human that may come.

POPS U.S. School District to Begin Microchipping Students 
Orwell was clearly an optimist. he never conceived that the powers that be would track people's movements via microchip. This is the most insidious thing we as a society can succumb to. The arguments towards the positives on this in no way outweigh the evil this can unleash. The next step after this is to make us cashless, our credit tied to the chip embeded within us. Just like the swipe pass keys for toll roads and gas pumps we currently use. But what if those in control decide to turn off your chip, what do you do then, what recourse do you have? Those voting in favor of these RFID initiatives are either basing their decisions on knee-jerk reactions which in turn are based on emotional pandering by it's proponents or are just plain ignorant and short-sighted. It would come to blows should anyone dare suggest I "chip" my son. Putting these things in pets, airline travel tags, etc. is just a way to get use used to the concept and make it seem banal when the time comes to chip is all.

POPSFree Budgeting Software You probably know how much money you made last month, but do you know how much money you spent? Or do you know how much money you have left to spend this month? If you don't you're not alone, most people have no idea. The fact is most of us spend 10% more per month than we make. That comes out to $431 per month based on the average American income. No wonder the average credit card debt is now at $8,500!
