POPSEarth's Magnetic Field Reversal is Approaching Here is another reason why humanity seems to lose direction.... :-) "Right now, historic records show that the strength of the magnetic field is declining very rapidly. From a quick back-of-the-envelope prediction, in 1,500 years the field will be as weak as it's ever been and we could go into a state of polarity reversal," says Singer. "One broad goal of our research is to provide some predictive capability for what could happen and what could be the signs of the next reversal."

POPSEgalitarian revolution in the Pleistocene? In humans, a secondary transition from egalitarian societies to hierarchical states took place as the first civilizations were emerging. How can it be understood in terms of the model discussed? One can speculate that technological and cultural advances made the coalition size much less important in controlling the outcome of a conflict than the individuals' ability to directly control and use resources (e.g. weapons, information, food) that strongly influence the outcomes of conflicts.

POPSRoyal Dutch Shell to go to Trail for Complicity in Torture and Murder of Nigerian Protesters Nigeria has been chief among Shell’s assets for many years. Critics charge that with the aim of production at any cost, regardless of the damage to the surrounding people and land, Shell disrupted thousands of lives and wreaked havoc on the environment. In the early 1990’s, the people of Nigeria began to protest. Shell made payments and provided arms to security forces that they knew to be abusive to local communities. The military government violently repressed the demonstrations and arrested and bribed witnesses. Nine leaders of the demonstrations were murdered, including the aforementioned well-known activist and writer, Ken Saro-Wiwa.

POPSToddler Planet and Imaginary Wealth The industrialized world is still incredibly rich without it. If we were all (particularly the people at the top) willing to accept a little less, and stop trying to stick somebody else with the entire loss, we'd all be fine. But apparently this type of behavior—something I've dubbed "not being a three year-old toddler"—is beyond the capability of humanity. We'd prefer to suffer enormously instead.

POPSMass UFO Sighting Predicted - Oct 14, 2008 I believe they feel they have no choice but to show themselves as we verge on self-annihilation, genocide and toxic poisoning. The truth of our inter-galactic lineage will become common knowledge. If I am to believe the vision, the truth of our intergalactic lineage will cause humanity to take one wild ride. They're coming! I'd love a wild ride. Heh heh... :D Clip Song

POPSThe future is going to be better than you think
The future is not all doom and gloom, there is hope after all. This UN "State of the Future" report says, "The future continues to get better for most of the world, but a series of tipping points could drastically alter global prospects." Despite Global Warming, racial tensions, war, famine and other real problem's we face, things are getting better for humanity as a whole and can continue to do so. Dinosaurs were not seriously studied until just little over 100 years ago. Just 50 years ago, blacks and white were still segregated. Women still had very little in the way of rights in business, courts, and even their homes. We have global communications on such a massive scale that anyone anywhere can practically talk to any one of 8 billion people. The microchip, microbiology, space travel, flight, automobiles, home computers, satellites... all of these things (and more) have been available for a hundred years or less. We have a bright and prosperous future... if we

POPSDaniel Boone (1734-1820) 
the following says something we all know is true. While His status is Legendary, He was as are all of us Human. Something he would have been glad to admit. He had the same humanity as we all do, and beside the victories there were defeats as will be the course, but. He was prepared to venture into the unknown. and what he found can now be taken for granted, but it should Never be that way. Boone remains an iconic, if imperfectly remembered, figure in American history. He was a legend in his own lifetime, especially after an account of his adventures was published in 1784, making him famous in America and Europe. After his death, he was frequently the subject of tall tales and works of fiction. His adventures—real and legendary—were influential in creating the archetypal Western hero of American folklore. In American popular culture, he is remembered as one of the foremost early frontiersmen, even though the mythology often overshadows the historical details of his life.

POPSOur Future is ours to write The grand Unified Theory of Time Space, and Existence. We all have a choice. The choice between Light and Darkness. The Darkness is ignorance, division, fear, and oppression, hunger and need., The light is knowledge, understanding, acceptance, unity, compassion, empathy, faith, hope, and Love. There is a reason we fear the darkness. It will kill us. But only if we believe it is so. When we allow in the light, the Darkness has no substance, and so ceases to exist. So our fears can be relieved, and replaced with hope. The Future is ours to write.

POPSSolar Will Beat Oil This article gives me some hope. A bit more: "Enough total solar energy shines on the earth during a 40-minute period of time to power the entire world economy for a year. We only need to harness a tiny portion of this sunshine to make a huge difference in the world: environmentally, politically and economically."

POPSJoanna Lumley shouts for Johnny Gurkha It's better late then never, Lass. Let us give our number one allies sanctuary and care, let us deport all the puffs and perverts, including former Ministers who corrupted the essence of humanity that Labour has destroyed. To give Peter Mandelson credit for anything after being repeatedly proven to be a liar and cheat is subversive. This Government can find single mothers, working on the side for a few quid to feed and dress their children, but cannot put Ministers who subvert justice and give Blind assistance to their shags - sleeping and lovers are words that mean more than the licentious debauchery played out by these power mongers - of the likes of Blunkett and Mandelson, just shows how low they will grovel to achieve ends. If there is any decency left in Great Britain, there will be a moral revulsion that will kick out all politicians who cannot care for ALL of our service personnel.

POPSTrue Socialism...? I found it here: http://smallestminority.blogspot.com/2008/09/quote-of-day_10.html ..where the blogger states (correctly), "Thus, in one paragraph Von Mises explains why 'true socialism' has apparently never been tried."
