POPSSmall Government and other Goofy Ideas! This paragraph is encouraging: (Even John McCain, who tells conservatives that he's a Reagan disciple, proposes far-reaching government action on issues such as climate change, high energy prices and the mortgage crisis -- problems that are supposedly better left to the CRUEL GENIUS OF THE FREE MARKET, according to ... Bush ...) I could never understand why people especially LIBERTARIANS believe small or no government is what this nation needs... The GOP sure jumped on that bandwagon. Here is a great site to compliment Mr. Robinson's stance... http://www.governmentisgood.com/articles.php?aid=24 Time and time again, I have repeated the old axiom WE'RE ONLY AS STRONG AS OUR WEAKEST LINK! And the weakest amongst us may need a helping hand now and then...(Katrina). Here's good quote: “The weakest link in the chain is also the strongest. It can break the chain.” - Stanislaw Jerzy Lec quotes (Polish writer, poet and satirist 1906-1966)

POPSIs Bill Clinton secretly campaigning for Obama? This short video is REALLY something to think about... Using Bill Clinton's own words to encourage people to vote for Obama. Too bad Hillary didn't heed the words of her husband. What goes around, comes around. To see it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9o481X4f8

POPSNo God For Me Thanks! A recently discovered letter written by Albert Einstein, has once and for all ended the debate on whether this wise man of science relied on religion to get him through this life. "No God for Me, Thanks" says it all! To hear another intellectual on the subject follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD0B-X9LJjs

POPSThe Awesome Intelligence of the Crow. This is an interesting video about a vending machine for crows. It actually illustrates how adaptable crows are and how they may be trained, by anyone with patience and smarts enough to teach them, to help human beings become a better species upon our planet. It's time for people to realize, they are not the only ones who are able to think and solve problems. Maybe, in a million years or less, we will have to share the top of the food chain with other breeds. Follow the link below for the TED.com, short talk on crows. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/261

POPSWAR ON WAR music video contest
This video was my entry into a contest by Sam Harris. He wrote a powerful song with a strong message against war. The USA government is always declaring war on something i.e. War on drugs, war on terrorism, war on poverty... How about a war on war? Says, Sam Harris... You can view link... http://www.youtube.com/groups_videos?name=waronwar Contest here: http://www.samharris.com/waronwar/ thinkingblue.blogspot.com --- A SPECIAL COMMENT FROM THETHINKINGBLUE CHANNEL Some of the nasty comments on thethinkingblue channel illustrate how sad we Americans are as a people. There is so much ignorant hatred bristling, that a complete coming together as one commonality is almost impossible. Barack Obama is our only hope. He can soothe the pain of hatred and rage by not embracing it like so many other political bodies have (yes even Hillary Clinton stooped so low) and he will demonstrate to us, through example that we really can come together as one. YES WE CAN! thinkingblue.blogspot

POPSBiofuels Causing Food Crisis To Worsen! 
There are many articles, news items and whatever tickles your fancy, that will give you information about how biofuels such as corn, are creating (or not creating) a hunger crisis. It's enough to make a grown man or woman cry. I know I've cried more than once on seeing hungry human beings filmed in all their emaciation ... (I could never figure out... if they can get cameras out there to these poor folks why the hell can't they get food to them??... but that's just an idiosyncrasy of mine.) Anyway, there's a chart that tells you exactly which food or plant crop can more accurately help us get those needs we've become accustomed to. Like going from point A to point B and keeping our buns warm or cool, etceteras, without causing starvation to others. You'll find the chart by following this link: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/dayart/20080503/biofuels_compare.gif We've got the crops but you will be amazed at how the technology is NOT ready! Why NOT??? :eek:

POPSRace doesn't matter - YES WE CAN! This title says it all. This is the most exciting time politically that I have seen in my umpteen years of voting. The long infinite stretch of dirty politics or politics as usual is ending. At least we can all hope it is. I just finished another youtube project of talking heads who try to lead us down a path of gloom, a path of NOT IN OUR INTEREST. If you care to view it you can find it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL4HwogMIOU

POPSTop 10 Crimes Against Your Body
When I opened this article, I thought it was going to be one of those same ole, same ole's, about smoking, drinking, overeating and unsafe sex, all the nasty, enjoyable habits we've grown to love. I was surprised to see it was about the rush to improve one's appearance by seeking out deadly cosmetic surgeries of sort. This is another one of those by-products from the advertisement industry who use "beautiful people" to sell the crap we buy... Subconscious messages are planted during these many ads, shoved in our faces, via magazines, newspapers, TV and any media we may tap into, to get entertained or informed. These ads, on a subconscious level make us feel ugly and useless because we don't resemble the actors or models who seem to enjoy their lives so much better than we. So what does one do to join the "beautiful people" crowd? They go under the knife! A big collective OUCH! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/06/top-10-crimes-against-your-body.aspx

POPSTHE ALMIGHTY SUPREME COURT (fiction) (A thinkingblue personal opinion) When Gore lost the ability to have a recount in 2000 and the Supreme Court awarded the presidency to George W Bush, I knew exactly what was going to happen within this holiest of Courts. I knew, the great headway that was made to lessen human suffering would probably be overturned and that future supreme decisions would be handled by the judges, W. Bush would get to nominate to give the conservative ideology a court majority. It seems this de ja vu I felt was right on target. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out! The republican party has for 50 years had this as their goal. But I wished the hell I knew why? thinkingblue You can also view it here: http://www.thethinkingblue.com/swf/BOSTONLEGAL.html

POPSBig Pharma Drug Rip-Off Many of us knew this to be true but when it is written down in some article it packs an even greater punch! OUCH! We should all stop being so afraid of death, and dying for if it weren't for this fear, I believe, THEY (big pharma, physicians, medical "caretakers" etc.) COULD NEVER GET AWAY WITH ROBBING US OF OUR MONEY, HEALTH AND WELL BEING! :mad: More here http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/19/shocking-facts-about-the-pharmaceutical-industry.aspx and here: http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=327 and even more here: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20020805/newman20020725

POPSUNBEARABLE PAIN and still it's illegal I have stated before that I like youtube but sometimes the comments are so ludicrous that I can't believe I share a world with so many dunderheads. This video is a very short story of a woman in so much pain she probably would die if she could. Her only relief comes from medical marijuana and she is made to feel guilty about her relief because our idiotic lawmakers pander to the ignorant and keep archaic laws on the book that punish the innocent. I swear what should be outlawed is stupidly!

POPSRachel Maddow Clears The Air About "BITTER" But will they listen? Not JOE SCHMO SCARBOROUGH... As always he has his own stubborn mindset and refuses to make rational something that smacks him right in his pathetic puss! Thank goodness MSNBC has Rachel on its panel to give those who THINK a breath of fresh air!

POPSBELIEVE YOU HAVE NO SAY...? view this video! This man's "word art" is worth a million tears. Millions of tears have been shed and still there is no end to the Iraq War. If you believe you don't have a say in how the world is run... try telling that to the freewayblogger.

POPSBank of America Trojan Dropper An email I received today prompted me to create this page. I wanted to blog this information so that people could become aware of another yet malicious virus program circulating the Internet systems. Perhaps, this menace to our computing well-being should be an important issue for our presidential candidates to address. If it isn't today then I'm sure it will be in the future when threats to society will be of a high-tech, elusive nature which can be more lethal than the WMD intimidation, thrust upon us 7/24. If there is anything that can take our economic stability down faster than Corporate greed, it is the powerful control of our cyber-machines, by cyber-terrorists.

POPSFlorida, No Champion Of Education!
The good news is, Fla. is now allowed to use the word EVOLUTION to describe an educational study in science. The bad news is, the people, the ones with their heads forever stuck in a book of ancient writings, got their clueless compromise. They made the somewhat backwards educational system of Fla. (which they themselves are mostly responsible for) a bit more regressive by not allowing Evolution to stand alone. They, (Neanderthal school board members) said ... the "E" word is OK, as long as it's called "A THEORY" but these poor stymied script people, haven't a glimmer of what Scientific Theory means. They mindlessly believe it means speculation or inconclusive evidence. When in fact it means, an explanation based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning. Scientific theory is based on careful, rational examination of facts. A fact is something that is supported by unmistakable evidence. And who are the losers, WHY OUR CHILDREN OF COURSE. :cry: http://www.fsteiger.com/theory.html
