POPSAkio Toyoda, Toyota CEO Apologizes for Cars. Wonder if it ever occurred to Mr. Toyoda to apologize for his family's making weapons that killed Americans, Chinese, Korean. British, Australians, Malays, Singaporeans, Indians, and profiting from making those bayonets and Japanese army trucks and supporting the war?

POPSBusy Meeting for Senate Judiciary Committee Makes you wonder, how they keep track of things themselves when such a mix of issues is scheduled for one meeting. My guess is that if any one of us were running this committee, we'd make things a bit clearer for members and public to follow.

POPS34 years imprisoned - Reason? Being Strong Even if he was guilty, if he had not been a strong Native American, he'd have been out of prison by now. As it happens, he is more than likely innocent of the crime he was charged with - but government at the time wanted a fall guy and to send American Indian Movement a message. And now, as is usually the case, the government and those retired from government hate saying they did something wrong and making it right.

POPSUSDA Oxymoron: wildlife, hunting and conservation When you need to cover your behind, you appoint a council that makes it look like you are being participative - and you attach the word conservation so it doesn't appear that you are in favor of killing anything that crawls, flies, swims or runs and maybe even hops, just because you can and you tak epleasure in killing things to make you fell BIG! Put as many ornaments and perfume on it as you want, it still looks and smells like three-day old road kill!

POPSEgypt Gets Smart on Preventing Flu All avian flu is passed through contact with feces, urine, and sweat. Ending the crowded live markets cuts down contact between birds and birds and people, as well as mutation of the influenza. If Indonesia, Viet Nam, Cambodia, India, and China would do the same - all influenza would plummet!

POPSCambodian Dead Duck Mystery Solved - Bird Flu Strikes Again!
Area in Cambodia borders Viet Nam. February 14th marks Lunar New Year which is celebrated in Cambodia, Viet Nam and China. It is as if you added Christmas, New Year, your birthday and in the US, the 4th of July and Memorial Day all together into one holiday that lasts from 3 to 10 days. And to ensure a prosperous year ahead, one MUST have duck, chicken, goose or a pig for your holiday meals. Now imagine how many ducks, geese, chickens and pigs are raised to be at their peak flavor in time to be sold "live" to millions upon millions of eager customers. Now, you understand how and why regular influenza/flu creates a new mix/mutation of flu each year in these live markets for transmission in Asia and the rest of the world. And you should understand why people are so worried that bird flu will change enough to go direct to people in a big way rather than the normal route of birds to pigs and then to people. Can you spell p-a-n-d-e-m-i-c?

POPSUrban farming buzz feeds more egos than hungry people You don't have to do the numbers to realize that no amount of urban gardens, today, can green America or feed people in need of good food. It can make people feel good and take attention away from: working to grow the economy so people in need of food have better paying jobs and improving city living enough to encourage people to live there instead of the suburbs - thus reducing the number of people who have to drive to do anything. And by the way, the suburbs, for the most part, used to be America's truck garden and ready source of good, cheap and fresh food instead of a place to grow sprawl and all the waste that goes with it. That said - go ahead and plant a garden for yourself, it's good exercise and the food is good but you can't feed the world with it.

POPSExxon-Mobil is a company, not a person! Mr. CLEAN FOR PRESIDENT Now P&G can legitimately buy elections in Cincinnati? Not what founders thought about when guaranteeing freedom of speech. Enough pimping for America Inc.

POPSFix Immigration Now! Do something to earn your pay US Congress! Not to be too selfish but - the best and the brightest still want to come here to be free and to make money - but we just put up roadblocks. If the doors to US had been shut in 1800, 1900, or even 1960 - we'd be a third rate nation. Fix the system and open the doors to progress American style.

POPSICE Better at Drug Arrests Than FBI, DEA, Local Police? Not so, you say? Right you are but a good way for rogue ICE cops to thumb their noses at their boss and claim to just be doing their job - way better than those trained in narcotics. Too good to be true usually turns out to be just that and ICE will pay the piper sooner than later.

POPSAfghanistan Who Will Write Its Destiny? I hope that in reading these words and poems from the Afghan Women's Writing Project help you to understand that bombs and armies have impacts that we seldom actually see or hear of from someone on the ground and who will be there long after we have gone.

POPSState of our union? Depends on how well we work together As Obama spoke these words the cameras panned across Democratic and Republican legislators, their eyes fixed on the President. No one looked away. No one was twittering on his Blackberry. Because they all knew the President was speaking truth to power. And that is a rarity in the halls of Congress.
