POPSSea Shepherd deserves our support! It is time for the World to standup and be counted on issues affecting us all. Our Governments continue to fail us as they junket from one fest to another expending more "hot air". We have enough Global Warming without daft politicians adding to it!

POPSTimid Governments allow vandals to wreck forests! Governments around the World consistently "shy away" from taking powerful vested interests to court. It makes a complete mockery of our system and it threatens our future. The last thing the World needs now is more Global Warming in this case brought about by politicians producing "hot air" rather than action!

POPSRussian liberals being stifled Pretty sobering news as Putin seizes more power - with us being on the lip of another Cold War and a major long-term financial recession this is the time that wars can be started as a "cure all". The public must be very concerned.

POPSIs mankind generally moronic? I'd have to agree with Al Gore - too many watch soap opera and reality shows or get consumed in trivia to worry about what is going on "out there". Here we have a World falling "part at the seams" as the majority doesn't give a damn. It speaks volumes!

POPSAustralian Government beats the retreat! So much for the grand opening salvo from the Rudd Government - they have now beaten the retreat! The "Ozzies" were never people to runup a white flag after a couple of shots - why start now?

POPSWhalers decimate even pregnant females! These callous whalers are not only taking the present generation of whales, they are also taking future generations! I believe the time has come for decisive action - not the limp-wristed efforts of so many Governments. Australia through the new Rudd administration made a great start - but they have now joined ranks with those capitulating to the Japanese. Some leadership!

POPSOur way of life is changing for all time The demise of the great U.S. automobile industry highlights a society on the lip of major change. The highly paid executives and their lavish lifestyles may quickly follow. The public are reacting to the thought of obscene waste and extravagance of a select and comparative few. This had to happen and I invite people to scan through numerous photo libraries and see the demise of Detroit itself - it is as if a war zone. A blight upon the landscape in fact. It is time indeed for inspired leadership before all this spreads far and wide like a cancer.

POPSAfrica is a "basket case" - exploited by China and others! The lingering, callous attitude to the destitute of Africa is perpetuated by nasties like the rotten Chinese regime and others like them. They have armed the renegades in Africa who have raped, pillaged and mudered as China reaps the spoils of minerals and other resources. Meanwhile the rest of the World tends to sit on the sidelines and watch the human misery unfold year after year after year!

POPSAustralia is capitulating on whaling protest! It is clear the Australian Government is now reneging on its commitment to fight the Japanese whaling at every level. They are now resorting to limited opposition to whaling through diplomatic channels which are little better than "talkfests"! The Australian people are generally forthright, bold and honest - their Government is not reflecting such qualities in the whaling situation!

POPSIs the Rudd Government now all talk? Sadly it looks increasingly that the great moves initially by the Rudd Government of Australia have become little more than "hot air". As if we need more Global warming! Sea Shepherd have been left to soldier on alone as the Japanese practise their butchering of the whales. Garrett, Australia's environment spokesman was full of noise prior to his election - now he is ominously quiet. The excuse is that Australia is using diplomatic channels - and we know how mind-numbingly slow progress there can be devoid of the public gaze! Comeon "Ozzies" stir the tripe out of your Government - it needs a rocket up its backside!

POPSGreed is the root cause of our collective problem in the meltdown We are seeing a meltdown essentially brought about by collective greed, ignorance and selfishness - no question. Perhaps now, as our savings and jobs evaporate we may better understand the plight of our planet, the young, the vulnerable,etc that we have tended to ignore for years.

POPSA President whose time has come! Ex President Clinton is about to shine and not before time; like Al Gore and Bill Gates these guys have the ability to really lead now. The World needs their wisdom.

POPSSaving our Planet is Imperative These moves are welcome - now we need the people to endorse the sustainability concept and demand our politicians follow suit. After we stuff this Planet our future is bleak!

POPSChina doesn't care a jot about the public! This regime has proved to be callous and indifferent to crucial issues affecting us all. The fake trade in China is simply masked by a few token arrests by their Government. They allow dangerous drugs and products to be dispensed all round the World at potentially high human cost. The Chinese system is rotten to the core!

POPSFake China Threatens the World! Fake drugs, dangerous unsafe products all imposed on the World by a Government that has no principal. Human life clearly has no value to this rotten regime.

POPSThe junta in Myanmar is cruel & callous I believe nothing highlights better how the World has "lost its way". We allow the junta in Myanmar to practice genocide, as we do in Darfur and with Mugabe the tyrant. I think at a certain point the tyrannical regimes have to be afforded a hefty response - but the free World simply watches and allows the position to deteriorate further. China is one of the World's villains - it is allowing all three regimes mentioned above to be supplied with arms and sustenance for their despot leaders. Shame on China!!!!!!
