POPSEmployee Free Choice Act We The People, may finally have a voice now that Barack Obama is our President. Hope is overflowing for the downtrodden American worker who saw labor hour increases while compensation decreased due to the many monitory escalations of Energy, Food, Shelter, Healthcare and Clothing. Disparity was the rule. This Employee Free Choice Act must be passed so that the American worker can start climbing out of the quagmire, too many years of Corporate rule put us in.

POPS"No more Iraq occupation funding." How much longer must this illegal, extortionate war in Iraq go on? There has been so much damage caused by this war ranging from the loss of influence to the United States of America, around the world, to the endless casualties of Iraqi citizens. Totals (Especially from the Pro-war, Pro-neocons) are estimated at 84,050 to 91,713 but these figures, although quite shocking, are not the true estimate. A study in 2006 assesses the loss of life at over 655,000 Iraqis or more than 500 people a day (A report, which of course, President Bush does not consider credible.). That would mean, every single family most likely, has suffered a loss in this war. Natural disasters that are inundating the news today, such as in Myanmar, . And China's death toll from last week’s earthquake ... Alarming numbers but still dwarfed by the Iraqi totals.

POPSStand with Tibet - Support the Dalai Lama " China's economy is totally dependent on "Made in China" exports that we all buy, and the government is keen to make the Olympics in Beijing this summer a celebration of a new China, respected as a leading world power. China is also a very diverse country with a brutal past and has reason to be concerned about its stability -- some of Tibet's rioters killed innocent people. But President Hu must recognize that the greatest danger to Chinese stability and development comes from hardliners who advocate escalating repression, not from Tibetans who seek dialogue and reform.

POPSUniverse - Revealing our Modern Day Mythology It's a search application, a visually stunning interactive night sky Use it here: http://universe.daylife.com/ Watch the TedTalk by Jonathan Harris about it (fastforward to 12m), which provides a decent introduction and explanation: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/144 In Universe, as in reality, everything is connected. No event happens in isolation. No company exists in a vacuum. No person lives alone. Whereas news is often presented as a series of unrelated static events, Universe strives to show the broader narrative that contains those events. The only way to begin to see the mythic nature of today's world is to surface its connections, patterns, and themes. When this happens, we begin to see common threads — myths, really — twisting through the stream of information. Do check this out !

POPSFreedom of Thought at a Crossroads Today, drugs and other advanced technologies are making it possible to change your thought processes. On the one hand, they hold tremendous opportunities for enabling enhanced human functioning. On the other hand, they raise deeply troubling prospects for an entirely new form of coercion. One thing is clear: the parameters of freedom of thought are changing as much as the printing press and the Internet changed the parameters of freedom of speech. Lawmakers and judges are making important decisions now that set alarming precedent for the future of freedom of thought. Without freedom of thought there can be no free society. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=PHI20070109&articleId=4396
