POPSThe economics of modernity (one of my favorite clips ever) I really love this clip. Speaks to the rat race so many of us live in...trying to make enough money to buy ipods, laptops, cars, clothing, jewelry and all sorts of other things that we don't necessarily need and that don't truly make us happy. The irony is that the toll it takes on us is probably damaging to our well being, both physically and emotionally.

POPSAmerica in 1825: the poor are simply sold If you lived in the rural North, and you died, your children, your spouse, your Grandma were auctioned to whomever thought they could get enough work out of them to justify their expense. We had auctions for slaves in the South, and for paupers in the North. Small government is brutal government.

POPSFalse hope syndrome "The cure for false hope is to set more reasonable goals and recognize that achieving even modest change will be difficult. And if you are older than 30, remember that your openness to new experiences is slowly declining, so you are better off making a new start today than postponing it until later. Perhaps most important of all, try to appreciate the person that you already are." I cannot disagree more! to be a human means to want the stars, to reach the unknown. yes, in the cost of not being satisfied...
