POPSH1N1 (Swine 'Flu) overhyped After an otherwise healthy 13-year-old boy died of a H1N1 infection, demand for the vaccine jump drastically after the heavy media attention what was given to a horribly tragic, but still singular death from H1N1. Clinics were forced to shut down due to lack of supplies, and people who really should have gotten the vaccine first (like young children, pregnant mothers and seniors) lost out. H1N1 Influenza is a mere fraction of the virility of normal seasonal 'flu, and has fewer serious cases and deaths than seasonal 'flu. The normal, sensible steps you take to avoid getting the 'flu every year will work as well for H1N1. Yes, it looks serious when the media focuses on individual deaths from H1N1, but such coverage is deceptive. A few hundred deaths, Canada-side from H1N1 is tragic, but seasonal 'flu will claim several thousand, as it does every year. Just keep some perspective. Be aware; be mindful, but don't be scared. Think sensibly.

POPSThe Death Panels of the Status Quo Palin's sort-of withdrawn her accusations of "death panels" in Healthcare reform (without ever actually admitting she was wrong; she actually sort of scolded other people for making up stories, the little witch!). But the fact remains; Americans have Death Panels right now. When it's their health care vs. corporate profits, the profits win every time (meaning that Americans lose). Don't let the loudmouth Town Hall Meeting Interrupterz give the impression that they speak for the majority. Make sure you write, email, phone or visit (or all of the above) your members of Congress and Senators frequently to tell them that you want meaningful health reform now!!

POPSWho decides Who shall Live and Who shall Die? If Sarah Palin wants to find "Death Panels", she need look no further than your local Health Insurance Company. They've been making decisions on who lives and who dies based on completely subjective criteria for decades! This IS the bureaucrat between you and your doctor NOW!

POPSFirst Step to Mideast Peace: "Tear down those settlements!" Get the Israelis to stop instigating hatred against them by being a rogue state that steals land from their neighbours, and maybe then, Arab nations will no longer be haunted by people who call for "Death to Israel".

POPSDeath and Taxes The current reforms to the US's military spending is a good step, but they need to cut off the nourishment to the cancer known as the US Military Industrial Complex. Time for it to die a bad death, and let the US return to a sensibly-sized military; like something that wouldn''t tempt a Republican moron of a president to start 2 useless wars at once.

POPSModern Religion Mankind's most influential accomplishment; fighting each other to death over niggling little details in a book that really just essentially tells us to love each other unconditionally. Sometimes, you just want to cry...
