POPSDeath Row Realism "Why should we pay to keep him locked up for life? I hear that question constantly. Few people know the answer: It's cheaper -- much, much cheaper than execution. If we condemn the worst offenders, like Massie, to permanent imprisonment, resources now spent on the death penalty could be used to investigate unsolved homicides, modernize crime labs and expand effective violence prevention programs, especially in at-risk communities. The money also could be used to intervene in the lives of children at risk and to invest in their education -- to stop future victimization. To take a life in order to prove how much we value another life does not strengthen our society. It is a public policy that devalues our very being and detracts crucial resources from programs that could truly make our communities safe."

POPSTerrorist Attack on American Soil Would it surprise anyone that the republicans are behind this? That war machine doesn't know where or how to stop. They inflict false fear everywhere and now this. This is really bugging me. This article is originally entitled... Muslim Children Gassed at Dayton Mosque After "Obsession" DVD Hits Ohio. If you like the movie Obsession, check out The Power of Nightmares. Where did the fear that perpetrated this crime come from? Put down the remote and step away from the TV. While pastors are motivating their flocks to come back to church next week they ought to throw in a message on 1 John 2:6 "the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked."

POPSRush Limbaugh Hates Mexicans - But in a Funny Way! My problem with Rush is not that he's a bigot. Bigots are actually funny to me in the way that people who still wear parachute pants give me a chuckle. What bothers me about Rush's ilk is that they don't actually have the stones to be real racists or women haters or anti- Semites. Though they irresponsibly fan the flames of hatred, they don't own the strength of their convictions. When they are called on their stuff they run back to their bunker, which is heavily fortified for a reason, crying "but it was only a joke!" Like when Rush joked that Obama was a "haf-rican," or when he jested that Obama was a "magical negro." Oh, the hilarity. Be a man, Rush. Be a hateful man, but be a man instead of a pasty- lookin' crackhead drug addict whose wives keep ditching him 'cause he's impotent. That last bit was just satire, of course, so please don't take it out of context.

POPSMonday, Sept.20, Protest For Becca I appeal to everyone to join me in an "Online Protest" to join Becca's family and friends who will be physically protesting in Alabama on Monday, September 20, the day Becca's case was scheduled to begin. There is a list of email addresses below. It only takes a minute of your time to copy and paste your opinions and email them to officials in Alabama. Let them know you support Becca McEvoy and her family. Let them know that she has the right to a trial free from unreasonable delay. WE have to be the voice for this little victim because the laws are trying too keep her quiet, just as Bob Ingle did when he was molesting her. Make Monday a day of protest in support of Becca McEvoy.

POPSYouth, violence, illiteracy The lack of functional literacy is blamed for violence amongst young people, leaving them unable to respond effectively emotionally laden situations.

POPSChildren for sale Child abus is endemic and should be stamped out. This investigation in Australia reinforces convictions that everyone involved in child crime, and here I include those politicians who want to remove child protection matters by the reduction of the age of sexual consent, should be given no leniency at all. There can be no mitigation when the damage done to all innocent families is so extensive.

POPSCatholic Patriarchy If your reaction to this clip is a blase "who cares" then the odds predict that you have a penis. It's remarkable that after centuries this outmoded way of thinking still holds sway. And what's even more remarkable is that women are sometimes responsible in not more forcefully opposing this outdated dogma.

POPS‘Shank’ website is aimed at the kids who carry knives Online article from the Sun about the application "superpoke" including "shank" in its list of actions. What a load of rubbish. There's not this sort of outcry about the fact players can go online in NUMEROUS games, create characters that represent themselves and then proceed to stab eachother, as well as a whole host of other actions. The fact that a tiny, crudely drawn picture of a knife has recieved this sort of response is ridiculous. Saying that the site promotes gang violence etc. is competely outrageous. Especially since there are discalimers on facebook when adding the application saying it was not produced by the makers of Facebook. What an over the top, ridiculous article. Also, you'l notice how its an 'exclusive'.. I wonder why...

POPSA Bad Law The recurrence of offense by rapists and pedophiles is well documented. But what about the multitude of teens that are branded with the scarlet letter of sex offender? The present laws make no distinction between a rapist and an adolescent experimenting with sex. Yet the consequences are the same regardless of the "crime". This is foolhardy and a tremendous waste of taxpayer money to say nothing of the devastating consequences of teens being caught with their pants down. What began as a law to protect children has turned children into lifelong pariahs and that is not right.

POPSKnife Crime Is the Home Secretary still on drugs? her action on a weekend - not yet over- when seven people are murdered - is to take perpetrators into over worker casualty units to see the consequences of their handy work. Why not give the a 'I stabbed the innocent bastard' medal. Perhaps another action would be to remove these misled children and put them into Social Homes, like that under investigation in the Channel Islands, or those condemned in Wales...
