POPSFBI Abuses Patriot Act FBI agents are human beings who, like all human beings, carry grudges, hold strong prejudices, have unreasonable fears, can become overly involved, and often become confused between security and privacy. Should they have uncontrolled access to our private records?

POPSArmy Tests Brains of Men Going into Combat The unintended consequences of the war in Iraq is that thousands of people including our military units are becoming permanently brain damaged with diseases that look like personality disorders (read crazy and dangerous). How many are killed is reported. How many are left permanently (and sometimes dangerously) disabled is not reported. Scary.

POPSThe cow you don't eat may save your life My kids have already become strict vegetarians while I'm beginning to become one. At least I don't eat red meat or pork, My decision was based on the economics (use of land vs nutrition) and on distribution of food world wide. By cutting out beef, pork, sheep, and goats as food sources we can live longer and so can the planet. Mice studies have shown that more protein in the diet causes the mice to grow faster, but the mice also age sooner and die earlier.
