POPSNature Vs. Nurture Begins in Womb I have seen this come true in y own children and grandchildren. I have a grandson who is extremely aggressive and combative, and his mother smoked during her pregnancy. My son, on the other hand, is just the opposite, and I have never smoked. I wonder if these results hold true for those of us that have had to suffer under second hand smoke most of our lives.

POPSIris Scan - The ID of the Future "It's part of the growing surveillance society. We're going to be identified and tracked everywhere we go." The ACLU is not happy. This is the same concept as in the movie "The Minority Report". With GPS in your cell phone and your car, and iris scan everywhere else, you will never be able to be "lost" again. Bad news for the bad guys and the "cheaters" in society.

POPSHealth and Poverty - How To Stop Dying In America I have many personal testimonies to this article. Poverty leads to many, many health related issues. If you don't have enough money you don't go to the doctor. If you don't go to the doctor you can get worse or continue in ill health. Without money you can't afford to buy medicine when you need it, so your health can decline even more. You don't get enough good food ... you don't exercise ... you can't afford to maintain good dental practices ... you can't afford to get your children proper medical care. You end up with hospital bills in the tens of thousands of dollars that you will never be able to pay. How are health and poverty related? They are related in every way you can possibly imagine!

POPSChildren "Fattened Up Before Ritual Killing We may never really know the full reasoning behind all of the ritualistic killing in native cultures. If there are no written documents to shed light on what we view as pagan, cruel rituals, we can only study and continue to speculate on the religious significance. These killings, or sacrifices to the religious powers (gods or goddesses), are in evidence world wide, on every continent. Interesting reading.

POPSJapanese Men Can Take "Daddy Exam" This would probably be a good "exam" for men in any country. There are way too many men in this world who also believe that raising children falls only to women. Get with the program dad! Male input into children's lives is immeasurable. These are your children too! Love 'em ... but don't leave 'em to their mothers to raise!
