POPSGood Advice From Thomas Jefferson "In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set... fiery zealots to rights either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act...it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal." So true, yet sometimes very hard to avoid these disputes! Most of the people I know are fairly decent and can respectfully disagree with one another, thankfully. Then there are those who I have to try very hard to bite my tongue and walk away from, so as not to sink to their level...

POPS“A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter“ Writer Andrew Sargus Klein offers some additional context for the sculpture in this excellent post at SpliceToday, in which he references both Baudrillard and Hirst, and explores contemporary concepts of ownership and worth: “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” is tangibly linked, via Ethernet, to the intangible world of taste, aesthetics and worth. It doesn’t matter if the work becomes astronomically valuable—you’re legally required to keep putting it up on eBay once a week until someone else buys it. The argument is you can’t own anything conceptual, neither in copyright or theoretical terms, and the artwork’s logistics ensure that no third party—the highly ridiculous art market—can change that.

POPSHow to Become a Corporation Now that the laws have changed and defined corporations as people, people are corporations, why not take advantage of it and make your family a "corporation". Just sell a few things on e-bay once in a while or something. Imagine the benefits? Food, furnishings, clothing (er, "uniforms"), paying housekeepers ("maintenance personnel"), landscapers, internet expenses, dining out with friends (entertaining "clients"), childrens' allowances ("employee paychecks") ....all can be written off as a "business expense". After you file with your state to become a corporation you will need to get a Federal Tax ID Number or EIN (Employer Identification Number). This is also easy to do, just go to the link below and you will find form SS-4 from the IRS to apply for a number: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=97872,00.html

POPSWall of Death Daredevils (Lions & Riders & Fairs - O My!)
Motorcycle companies here and abroad (Indian and BSA, to name a couple) found that the public loved the thrill of peering down just a few feet away from the gunning biker beneath them, and thus it quickly became a highly promoted spectacle as manufacturers used it as a vehicle to advertise their brands, and daredevil riders upped the ante at breakneck speed to make a name for themselves and solidify their reputations on the infamous Wall of Death. With roots that can be traced back to New York’s own Coney Island, the Wall of Death attraction morphed into a motordrome on crack. Motorcycles, carts and yep, even lions– simultaneously racing and criss-crossing in a raucous blur of fumes, fury, and fur inside the equivalent of an over-sized wooden barrel. The sport had a strong run from the 1930s- 1960s (with Indian Scouts being the over-riding bike of choice), but there are still hardcore enthusiasts to be found all over keeping it alive today.
