POPSWhy Precious Should Have Been Taught Math Instead of Journaling Anyone who has taught adult-literacy classes knows that inexperienced writers' efforts are more often clichéd, vague, and confusing than searingly original and profound. And that's just the work of students with an aptitude to write... Maybe writing in her journal allowed Precious to conceive of a better life for herself and her children; maybe creating a persona on the page enhanced her self-worth. But, contrary to what Hollywood would have us believe, the world does not reward self-expression as readily or consistently as it rewards a good head for numbers. It's hard for any writer to support herself writing. Precious's teacher should have known that, and given her a calculator along with that journal.

POPSDeceptive Techniques of Food Labels, What You Read is NOT What You Get!
The FDA website shares some tips on how to understand and use the Nutrition Facts Label http://www.fda.gov/Food/LabelingNutrition/ConsumerInformation/ucm078889.htm Have you ever really looked at what is considered a ‘serving size’? I laughed when I first started seeing this on packages. I had been eating more than one serving size pretty much my whole life, and still do. I think most of us do. The problem I have with eating right is knowing whether or not I’m getting the right amount of nutrients necessary for optimum health and a strong immune system. Most doctors will tell you that you can obtain all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients you need from a normal healthy diet. It would be good if this was the case but because of the degradation of the food supply it has become almost impossible to achieve a diet for optimal health and the prevention of degenerative disease. I guess this is why the nutritional supplement market is so wide open.

POPSFor Immediate Release iowahawk He encouraged independent God developers to support the closed-source iGod / iGov health care platform , warning that "woe be unto the unlicensed app developer, for he shall be smote by a vengeful hail of ACORNs." Other iGod apps currently in beta test include an end-of-life calculator, income leveler, and a wireless database detector for anti-government heretics and apostates. "I believe this exciting health care partnership opportunity with the Almighty will be every bit as successful as our previous peace partnerships in the Middle East, and will pave the way for an eventual merger," said Obama. No date has been set for Government-God merger plans, but the FTC has signalled it would give quick approval. To finance the project, Obama said US Government would seek US$2 trillion in a 103rd round of involuntary venture capital. Headquartered in Washington DC, U.S. Government (NASDAQ: USAGOV) employs over 4,000,000 full time workers . . .

POPSObamacare Myths and Facts MYTH: Obamacare will make me wait weeks or months for necessary medical procedures. FACT: If you’re waiting that long, then obviously a qualified individual like Barney Frank or Nancy Pelosi decided the procedure wasn’t necessary. MYTH: Obamacare will be financed by cutting Medicare. FACT: Obamacare will be financed by eliminating Medicare recipients. MYTH: While many people will be forced onto the substandard public option, members of Congress will get a separate, much better plan. FACT: They will be on the same plan, but on a much much higher tier than will be made available to the hoi polloi. MYTH: Obamacare will be extremely costly and result in putting the country even further in debt. FACT: There is no confirmation of this, as the solar-powered calculator Obama tried to use to calculate the cost only allowed numbers up to the tens of billions.

POPSE-Money (That’s What I Want) There is a host of reasons why we should adopt a “cashless” society: 1-the cost of printing bills and stamping coins (in 2008 taxpayers paid $848 million to print hundreds of billions of dollars worth of bills, two thirds of that went to minting coins that most of us find is a nuisance to handle.) 2-more than 14,823 tons of zinc, 23,879 tons of copper, and 2,514 tons of nickel went into making coins last year. 3-cash is germ-smeared, bulky, carbon-intensive and expensive. Two years ago, card-based payments exceeded paper-based ones – cash, checks, food stamps – for the first time. The most efficient method of commerce would be to use the cell phone as a point-of-sale terminal which would lend itself to bartering. Imagine paying for a beer with frequent flier miles. Killing currency wouldn’t be a trauma, it’s be euthanasia.
