POPSAnimals strick back I cannot forget terrible odor spreading around slaughter plant on I-10 and the border of Texas and New Mexico. Thousands of poor, trembling cows are standing in a mix of dirt and manure, knowing for sure their fate already. That's how the meat becoming a poison. Cruel and unusual treatment of anybody, even animals before their slaughter, cannot go unpunished. This is the rule of life and we would never escape it, regardless if it from God or the Nature.

POPSMaking an Arguement for Misspelling Love the title of this article. "Most teachers expect to correct their students' spelling mistakes once in a while. But Ken Smith has had enough. The senior lecturer in criminology at Bucks New University in Buckinghamshire, England, sees so many misspellings in papers submitted by first-year students that he says we'd be better off letting the perpetrators off the hook and doing away with certain spelling rules altogether."

POPSRendition suit by innocent man to be re-heard Is there justice in the USA? Canadian citizen, detained in error for two weeks at JFK, then flown by US to Jordan for interrogation, held for 10 months. Restitution paid by Canadians, but court in US held it had no jurisdiction, saying that while at JFK, Arar was not technically in the USA. Totally innocent man - all now agree - abducted by the USA, probably tortured in Jordan. Can the USA say "Oops" and not be held responsible for the abduction and torture of an innocent man? Are we different than Stalin only by degree?
