POPSPower Execs: Carbon Emission Caps Interesting article... Kidof shows how some in teh power industry are at least trying to think of how thye can help save us all from doom ;) One quote i find apauling in the article however (from one who is agaisnt teh emission caps): " "The issue is global warming, not U.S. warming," said Mike Morris, the chief executive of American Electric Power of Columbus, Ohio, the largest coal-burning utility in the country. Unless China, India and other developing nations also are forced to adopt costly alternatives to traditional fossil fuels, U.S. manufacturers -- a major customer for AEP -- will be at an unfair competitive disadvantage, Morris said. " Boo hoo... YOu know at some point the big guy on the block has to stand up and do the right thing and hope others follow suite.

POPSHow The Times scooped Everest triumph Conquering Everest was an astonishing human achievement, but on a lesser scale, it also represented a remarkable journalistic coup, an unparalleled scoop involving personal courage, ingenuity and some extremely canny journalistic plotting. The 1953 expedition was, in part, sponsored by The Times, which obtained exclusive rights of publication in return for a fee. The newspaper had been associated in the same way with earlier attempts to scale the peak, including George Mallory’s ill-fated attempt in 1924

POPSLincoln, the Hypocrite and Thanksgiving--Religious Propaganda to Cover War Crimes
History as taught is a fabrication to indoctrinate into an artificial unity. Lincoln was no more a Christian than was Thomas Paine, the Deist who wrote against the Bible. The real motive behind Lincoln's hypocritical declaration of Thanksgiving (advised by Seward, who was Lincoln's Karl Rove) was, per the above, because "it pleases the fools"--i.e. it was religious propaganda in order to cover up the unlawful, anti-constitutional invasion of the Southern States, the burning of their cities, the rape and pillage of Sherman's army by calling for Thanksgiving. (The parallels between invasion of Iraq and invasion of the South are striking). Lincoln was distrusted by not only the South but many in the North. Christians saw him as a Deist not a Christian as his own words demonstrate. Lincoln, like most of the Presidents, was not a Christian and used religion like a hypocrite for political purposes, not unlike GWB.
