POPSFaroe Islands Barbarity abounds on the beautiful islands of Faroe. Can we excuse the bloodthirsty slaughter of these intelligent creatures on the basis that animals in food production also suffer, or that it's part of their culture, as some people do? Of course not! Quite apart from the fact that two wrongs do not make a right, if we justified this barbarity on the grounds of culture we'd also have to accept the practice of child marriage, suttee, clitorendectomies etc. Note too that the meat is not eaten...the animals are left to rot because heavy metal contamination renders their meat useless for human consumption according to EU standards for for human food. Aren't we a wonderful species - NOT!

POPSNo more cluster bombs It's unconscionable that the USA, Russia and China use these and I wonder if the USA still use or sell these horrible civilian killers, Esp in Afghanistan?

POPSNew Catholic "Blessing of a Child in the Womb" This prayer "makes a plea that 'our civic rules' perform their duties 'while respecting the gift of human life.'" With those words you move the prayer away from the stated object and make it an political statement. I'm all in favor of religious political action, but when a mother comes to you for a blessing of her unborn child and you respond with a plea to "civic rulers," you denigrate the mother and her unborn child and make them tools for your goals rather than the focus of your thoughts.

POPSBritish teen wins right to die I trust the pressure has not forced her to make a stand. She has her rights and has decided her future. Being a teenager shouldn't enter the equation. She knows what suffering is.

POPSWhat real voter fraud looks like, eh GOP? Those who were formerly Democrats may stop receiving phone calls and literature from that party, perhaps affecting its get-out-the-vote efforts. They also will be given only a Republican ballot in the next primary election if they do not switch their registration back before then. Some also report having their registration status changed to absentee without their permission; if they show up at the polls without a ballot they may be unable to vote.

POPSBiden/Democrat Deception - Iraq $$ vs. Afghan $$ Here is what you get if you vote for the man-child. Biden, trying to prove Iraq a mistake, compares Iraq cost of combat operations with U.S. expenditures to USAID in Afghanistan. Deception? You betcha! Comparing apples to oranges. Hey Joe - why don't you compare cost of Iraq combat operations in Iraq with cost of combat operations in Afghanistan. Now, considering this fabrication lie, do you think they are going to keep their promise about no tax increase on the middle class??! They lie through their teeth.

POPSChicago-area protest of raid on immigrant community It's sad that in Chicago area that they have seemingly gotten over past fears of Irish, Italian, Polish, Chinese, etc. legal and illegal immigrants - that our fears of immigrants from Spanish speaking countries still causes so much fear. What happened to Chicago with the "Big Shoulders?"

POPSParents Legally Abandon Their Children My initial reaction to this story was repulsion, first towards the parents for giving up all rights to their children. Fortunately they didn't just walk away and leave the children to fend for themselves. Secondly, the article states the original intention of the Safe Haven Law was to "protect newborn children, if a parent is overwhelmed." If this was the case, then why didn't lawmakers write the law to state exactly this? Lawmakers need to be held responsible for the way in which they write laws. When we elect officials to write laws we assume they are articulate enough and educated enough to actually write laws that spell out exactly what is intended instead of leaving it open to other interpretations. Now these children have become an additional burden on taxpayers and the parents are free to continue their irresponsible procreation which will produce even more of a drain on society. These people need to have vasectomies and tubal ligation.

POPSBecca McEvoy, Deserves Justice Rebecca McEvoy's family thought they would finally have their day in court. Instead, they spent this morning protesting. "Justice delayed is justice denied again," says Rhonda Wheelus, Rebecca's cousin, who was one of several people holding signs outside Government Plaza Monday morning. "Where is the victim's rights in this. It's all about the defendant and his rights, but where are Rebecca's rights," she says.
