POPSHow much are you paying for this war? If every family knew they would have to each pay near $50,000 for the Iraq war, Bush's approval rating might be at ZERO right now. At 25% approval rating, those 25% are still clueless how much this war is costing our country. The Outstanding Public Debt as of NOW is: $9,354,811,947,563 making each citizen's share $30,777. I'm not sure if it's worth it or not, but at least we ought to know that there's more fiscal malfeasance than ever.

POPSGovts around the world going nuclear I get google alerts on nuclear energy and what I'm seeing is that many countries are determined to move toward nuclear energy to solve their energy crisis. We the people, might want to get ourselves educated about this before it just happens to us.

POPSDo you use Dove Soap? Ironically, Unilever, the makers of Dove soap, are on the list of The 2008 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World, yet this video shows they have a slight problem living up to that reputation. http://www.csrwire.com/News/10851.html

POPSDo you support nuclear energy? from 'The Nation': "This much seems clear: a handful of firms might soak up huge federal subsidies and build one or two overpriced plants. While a new administration might tighten regulations, public safety will continue to be menaced by problems at new as well as older plants. But there will be no massive nuclear renaissance. Talk of such a renaissance, however, helps keep people distracted, their minds off the real project of developing wind, solar, geothermal and tidal kinetics to build a green power grid."

POPSState Economic Conditions worsen budget deficits affecting my state big time. Personally felt so far: Funding for advanced (AP, IB) public school courses is being slashed suggesting Florida no longer wants to help fund opportunities for intelligent and motivated children to get a higher level of pre-college education? Let's all just get a crappy public education with our tax dollars. Now that makes perfect sense in a socialist society where we all need to be equally average.
