POPSManipulating Data Surprisingly, the semantic web is still not up and running. Personally, I think we have the technology to group data in varieties of ways and instances. Evidently, I have a greater confidence in scientists and programmers than is warranted. There are some cool examples of ways to constructively show data. For instance, GapMinder, a fantastic way to display important information gathered over many years, so people can see real relationships...not be wowed by propaganda or stuck in accepted, unverified ideas.

POPS U.N. Tax Scheme:::Sen Inhofe Says “fuhgetaboutit” The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is warning of global taxes but notes that help is on the way in the form of Senator James Inhofe’s proposed anti-global taxes legislation. Headlined, U.N. globotaxes: Fuhgetaboutit, the May 30 editorial declared: Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., is on the verge of telling the United Nations, “Don’t even think about it.” Mr. Inhofe will be introducing a bill mandating the U.N. not advocate or promote global taxation — since the hopelessly dysfunctional polyglot of poppycock is musing about “new sources of development finance.” Or for those not fluent in bureaucratic Esperanto — taxing Americans.

POPSWhatever Happened To... Esperanto? This July, the ELNA (Esperanto League of North America) held their annual congress in Tijuana, Mexico. Phil Dorcas, ELNA president, says that every year some attendees insist on viewing the 1965 cult horror film Incubus, which features continuous Esperanto dialogue—and William Shatner. “The people who’ve seen it 10 times don’t want to see it again,” Dorcas says. “They used fairly accurate Esperanto in the movie, but the pronunciation was horrendous.”
