POPSSmoke a Pack a Day... or move to Cairo This comes as no surprise to me. The entire time I was in Cairo I coughed, hacked and eye watered my way through each day. I asked my chain smoking friend why he bothered to smoke when he could just breathe the air. Worst pollution I personally have ever had to live through. Luckily enough I was able to escape by heading home, unlike most everyone else stuck there.

POPSCashier Attacks Deaf Man for Not Talking "Upon further investigation, it appeared the suspect became frustrated when the victim wouldn't respond or acknowledge his attempts to converse," Sullivan said. "He became outraged and struck the victim in an unwarranted attack." The store's surveillance tape was erased or taped over before the officers got there.

POPSFollow The Money - Republican Execs Going Democratic Jeffrey Volk, a managing director at Citigroup in New York, says he grew disenchanted with Republicans after the federal government failed to provide more help to the Gulf region after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He says he's supporting Clinton. It was absolutely inconceivable to me that after 9/11 another catastrophe could hit a major American city, and the United States government was not prepared. John Canning, a deputy board chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago and CEO of Madison Dearborn Partners LLC, expressed similar misgivings. He described the Republican Party in an April interview as neanderthal for its positions on stem-cell research and global warming. He says he liked Obama's opposition to the war in Iraq and his approach to reducing greenhouse gases. I no longer find myself on the same page as Republicans.

POPSMultiple intelligences People think in different ways, have different talents, learn differently,and understand things in different ways. The education system is biased towards linguistic, thinking, and logical thinking to a lesser degree. People with strengths in other fields, could be taught in a way more suited to their talents

POPSBe a better Person..... Link is dead... new link is: http://acomplaintfreeworld.org/ Live a complaint free life. Or at least try. I suppose you could do this with a rubber band or any other kind of wrist wear. I am going to try this in my goals to improve my life as well as contribute positively to the world at large (or small). That means I have to be careful about what I clip and say at clipmarks then! :D
