POPSA Positive Example suitable for Clipmarks Devotees
I have often used clipmarks as a sounding board, to flesh out my own premature ideas in the delightful cloak of semi-anonymity. Not everything that I say I fully mean. Some thoughts are sounding boards to my own opinions until I firm them up and watch them gel in my own head while my fingers are flying across the keyboard. In the beginning, I spent every day reading comments people left behind mine, opening them up like christmas presents. For awhile, I left clipmarks because the animosity became so acrimonious that I suffered indigestion along with the cup of coffee and cookie I was enjoying while I read CM in the late morning. I have enjoyed clipmarks and enjoy reading the clips from people I don't necessarily agree with as well as those of whom I do agree. I hope in the spirit of the late Ted Kennedy we can take his example of leadership and disagree without rancor and argue passionately with tolerance for an opposing view. Thank you for reading. Good Day.

POPSWhat a relief ... some humanity in the world! I followed this story and was dismayed when the UK began to exercize some Draconian like blindfolding to the plight of a young man who most definitely deserved the benefit of asylum. It seems as though they have had a change of heart and listened to something other than fear!

POPSA movie worth watching... Slingshothiphop.com www.slignshothiphop.com "I won't trade humanity for patriotism" See what people are doing to liberate themselves and bring a voice to the issues ... a voice a real voice, not the tainted mainstream media and crappy pseudo news.

POPSProbably the most important clip I will find all month Normally I never watch tv but I found out I could watch this while working and I did. I was in tears the entire time. THIS is what giving and humanity is all about. A father who had jack shit who gave back to his community when he was down himself. And the five amazing sons who make the Brady Bunch look like punks. Watch this and be thankful be truly, thankful for your own life

POPSA grain of Rice and a single word.... helps feed people.... I found this when I was supposed to stop hanging around clipmarks and actually do some work. Go and click, for each time you click you test your knowledge and donate grains of rice to feed the hungry. How does this work.... the advertisers pay for the rice.. They are located in a banner at the bottom of the page. Fun, addictive and Educational and Altruistic* all at once. * see..I learned something ;)

POPSMy positive clip for the week.... Michael Franti... POWER TO THE PEACEFUL I promised myself that I would celebrate my 50th year on this planet with something special every week to keep me positive, and happy to be alive. I want to contribute something to the world, and I haven't figured out what it is yet.... so instead I am going to share this clip with those who may pass by. If you haven't heard of Michael Franti, you are missing out on one cool dude... he's kinda like common, kinda like mos def.... but not really. Michael Franti has been tireless in his quest to promote peace and harmony in his music. Give a look and a listen.... you won't be disappointed.
