POPSDying to get to the USA We arrest and charge those trying to leave water and food for those who risk their lives crossing the desert to get here. Prior to 1848 - this was their ancestors land but we draw a line and say die if you cross without permission. From space, you cannot see those lines - just one earth.

POPSDear Mr. President: Clean Up This Inhumane Mess; Now! You did not create this ugly mess of detention centers that has all the earmarks of being as bad as Walter Reed was for veterans. Place a priority on it and clean up and establish visible and enforceable rules of humane conduct in pubic and for-profit private facilities!

POPSDolphins do good without even trying - smile Great story of what a young girl learned from an encounter with a dolphin. Wouldn't it be nice if wannabe nature engineers "learned" as much from their encounters with nature. Then we wouldn't really have to worry about alligator-tomato mutants eating Cleveland.

POPSGo-Go's Go Naked for Animals - Sure? Well sort of. Fur as clothing or fashion is really dumb for a number of reasons. You may be interested in latest campaign to make people aware of how dumb it is and to help the unaware - get naked.

POPSSlaughtering the Amazon and the Earth When you lace up your favorite pair of shoes, you could unknowingly be unraveling the Amazon rainforest. It turns out leather coming from the Amazon rainforest is being used to make a number of consumer products, perhaps even the Nike, Adidas, Timberland, or Reebok shoes you're wearing right now. Take Action NOW >> Tell Adidas, Nike and others that every step counts when it comes to saving the Amazon, so it’s time they step up.

POPSImmigration needs humane reform She's a U.S. citizen, and her children are, too, but the day before Good Friday last year, the man in their lives was deported, she said. He had been here nine years and worked as a roofer, Bautista said. "I ask you, if you were in my shoes, would you like to see your family separated as we are?" she asked the crowd.

POPSAntibiotics given to Animals Ends Up in Fresh and Canned Vegitables Bummer! There's just no getting away from facts that industrialized animal farming has bad effects on people, and the planet. When there were thousands of small farmers, instead of hundreds of mega-industrialized farms animals did not get so stressed and disease prone. Forget if you are a vegan, it still gets to you. Let's hear it for going back to small farms!

POPSA welcome action for those who were not welcomed We have forgotten: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

POPSBush League Races to Do as Much Harm as Possible in Name of Ideological Zeal! The only part of this that is news, is that it took 7 plus years for this and other Inspector Generals to work up the courage to tell the truth. Once the debacle of Katrina began, it should have been obvious to everyone that ideology not competence, being law abiding, or having common decency was the hallmark of nearly all of the Bush League helpers.

POPSBird Flu in India Hits Another State By relying on culling and vaccinating alone, and not looking for other solutions, India can expect more bird flu and we can expect to read of it becoming a pandemic in near future.

POPSUSA leads world in sending its own people to jail I usually like it when the USA is number one but in this case, we could be doing better by being way down the list. The thousands upon thousands in jail for using marijuana could be better serving our nation by working at home, instead of in jail.

POPSProfit, status and stupidity still rules science! "There is nothing that can be produced through radiation induced mutation that is not within the spectrum of possibilities of what nature can bring out in that crop, given sufficient space and time. All radiation induced mutation is doing is to facilitate a naturally occurring phenomenon." And there is no residual radiation left in a plant after the mutation induction, he says. " Why is it that scientist's become simpering idiots and unscientific when they enter the promotion game of their favored technical solution for the planet? No danger from residual radiation - true. Danger from unforeseen circumstances due lack of diversity in agriculture - lots! If latest whiz bang, nuked wheat or rice becomes the one crop fits all and nature says, "yummie, let me create a new bacteria or predator for this new over-abundant species," then poof! whole crops are wiped out and new food hunger is created!

POPSImmigrants Being Locked Up - Indefinitely? Out of Spite? Interesting that the world has many defenders of free trade or fair trade but fewer and fewer support free movement of people. I guess it's just the money that those folks favor the free movement of and keep the poor, the oppressed, and the different away from my door!
