POPSPenn State Rife With Voting Problems Why is it so hard to have a reliable voting scheme... unless it is intentional. Don't officials understand that eyes are upon them? Could it be simply that they don't give a crap about the public they are supposed to be servants to, and that they know that things are so out of whack that their misdeeds, intentional or not, have no repercussions?

POPSWho Is The Real Patriot? I may not agree with his religion or some of his views, but I'd rather be in his fox-hole than Dick Cheney's or George Bush's.

POPSThe Collapse of "Irreducible Complexity" Against such a backdrop, the struggles of the intelligent design movement are best understood as clamorous and disappointing double failures – rejected by science because they do not fit the facts, and having failed religion because they think too little of God. As an icon of anti-evolution, the flagellum has fallen. This is not news. Irreducible complexity as an argument for íntelligent design has been debunked for quite some time, but some fanatical anti-evolutionists are apparently still desperate for this to be "proof" of the existance of God. It isn't. The article will explain why.

POPSThe "New" Constitution Kudos to David Swanson for all the effort he invested in this 5 page article. If you are up for the read, it is well worth it. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, except on corporations, those possessing over $10 million, and close acquaintances of the Unitary Executive

POPSNet Censorship sneaking in the door The subtle take over begins. We are living in a time of great historical change. If the planet is not destroyed, one day children in schools will be asking "Why didn't the people do anything to stop this?" That is, if they ever recover the freedoms that we gave away with our apathy.

POPSPolice Atrocities Define The Bush Police State
"If you've ever publicly opposed Bush's war of naked aggression in Iraq, you can bet you're in NSA's database, called TALON. War protesters, naturally, were the first to wind up in Big Bro's TALON, or database. This practice most certainly goes far beyond Nixon's 'enemies list'. Bush's database, methods, scope and ruthlessness plops us in Orwellian territory." Well, it's too late now. I'm probably already screwed and plopped and TALON'ed and monitored... END THE OCCUPATIONS! ------------------------- talon: \ˈta-lən\ Middle English taloun heel, hind claw of a bird of prey , from Anglo-French talun, from Vulgar Latin *talon-, *talo, from Latin talus ankle, anklebone 1 a: the claw of an animal and especially of a bird of prey b: a finger or hand of a human being 2: a part or object shaped like or suggestive of a heel or claw: b: the shoulder of the bolt of a lock on which the key acts to shoot the bolt 3 a: cards laid aside in a pile in solitaire

POPSWelcome to America...You're Under Arrest I had visions of Guantanamo in my head, and I became almost dizzy with the adrenaline rush of fear. I thought that I must have been mistaken for someone else, God knows who, and there would be no chance to clear my name. I can't begin to imagine the fear. As a non-American I can only say, I also fear travelling to or through the U.S. The story of the Islandic woman's ordeals doesn't help either. Does anyone else feel apprehensive these days travelling to the U.S, or I am the only one? :(
