POPSWhere are the weed plants Dutch government? Today the weed that was recently seeded at the island in front of our parliament as a protest against the increasing hostility towards these softdrugs, would be harvested to be destroyed. However, no weedplants were found. Could our parlementiaries be responsible for this?

POPSDutch youths convicted of virtual theft The world is struggling with the global food-, financial and energycrisis. In Holland we're dealing with virtual theft. However, I don't think this will end up in a virtual crisis, since the consequences are very real.

POPSIt's OK te be depressed sometimes Even though I have benifitted from anti-depressants in the past, I am still very reluctant to start using them again when I'm feeling down. I want to shape my life in a way that teaches me the copingmechanisms to deal with what comes my way. Antidepressants have made me lethargic in the past. I wasn't bothered with negative thoughts as much, but I also rarely experienced positive emotions nor the urge to change my life. As long as it's possible to do without, I will not grab for the pills to ease my mind.

POPSMoney as Both Tool and Drug The reason we're likely to keep making the same mistakes that brought us into this financial crisis, is that we're addicts. Is there another way to desensitize then going coldturkey?

POPS"Joe the Plumber" Hopefully Joe will get a lot of extra clients thanks to this free publicity and he'll be able to reduce his dependance on the outcomes of the election and the changes in taxes that may follow.

POPSCan ecology gain by the economic losses? Worldwide governments are taking over banks to 'save' the economy. Wallstreet and other trademarkets respond by going up in recordspeed, so there seems to be a happy ending..... I think that there is a way in which this financial crisis could be used in our advantage. If the governments decide: 1.to break down the barriers that are withholding developing countries to trade with the west 2. to only invest in companies that have sustainable policies, there would be huge protests by those that will suffer in the short run. But the real entrepreneurs will find ways to make money in a way that will not only benifit them, but also have profits for the planet as a whole.
