POPSThe Peace Dividend: Myth and Reality Despite America's fiscal recklessness in the 1980s, the sudden end of the cold war has provided the nation at least a modest opportunity to improve its economic health without raising taxes or cutting already anemic social spending. The nation has wasted such opportunities in the past, notably after Viet Nam. It could all too easily squander its savings again. Washington should provide leadership on this issue, not pliancy to every special-interest group. The worst outcome would be for the U.S. to beat its swords into more credit cards.

POPSLaws of Sustainability (3) Following Bartlett's logic, it's a case of do or die (if not, do and die), if not on the level of the individual, then on the level of humankind. People need to start to care for themselves (and others!) on the level of the species. The selfish individualism fostered by the consumer economy and the whole trash heap of economic growth theory needs to thrown overboard first, otherwise the boat will most certainly sink.

POPSA Merry Christmas for 'Health Care Command and Control Administration's' Congress 
'not green enough' will be rationed. The cross enforcement of anti-pollution laws and green technologies will bring the EPA to the party as an enforcement arm tailored to regulating all manner of pollution producers. Think of banning riding mowers as creating pollution and a sedentary lifestyle, thus running afoul of the 'Green AND Obesity Police.' Want to smoke a cigar with your goombahs at the local pizzeria? Fuggedaboudit! Pizza will, of course, be banned or regulated as a major cause of obesity. Those ovens that pump out CO2 by the cubic yard have got to go, too. And cigars? Not only do they cause cancer, global warming and spew aroma pollutants, but the second hand smoke is a weapon used to assault other peoples' health. Now fur-wearing can be rightfully banned as the glorification of sport hunting among otherwise 'civilized' people. The practical implications of amassing policy-making power in one central administration is almost endless as more and more regulatory

POPSThe madness of Rome (1) As I said, yesterday: there are ways to live without oil and gas. There is no way to live without water. Trading the water of life for life-threatening pollution is truly madness.

POPSPlaying A Character Palin and those conservative women who aspire to be like her love living in ignorance. They have been eating, sleeping, and working in pollution so long that they not only believe that is just the way the air is, but they advocate the air is not polluted and actually good for you. They buy into that twisted kind of logic because their survival and identity depends upon it. The stress of having to pretend to be innately superior at all times and buy into this belief system is more than the human organism can tolerate so they become angry, hateful, intolerant wanna be bullies who aspire to have a Sarah Palin book under their Christmas tree. To challenge them or doubt them is akin to heresy. Too bad they are buying into the myth that states there is only one reality because it limits the search in seeking any understanding for other human beings. Sad and pathetic.

POPSEarth On Track For Epic Die-Off, Scientists Say "If we redouble our conservation efforts, we can stem the tide of extinctions and have those species around in the future," Barnosky said. "There is a bit of urgency here. By demonstrating that we have already lost 15 to 42 percent of mammalian diversity, the question is, do we really want to lose any more? I think the answer to that is pretty obvious."

POPSClipping Comments: On the Suspend Copenhagen Climate Talks Jlyn continued- If you believe in global warming and take steps to control it but are wrong, you have lost nothing. But if you don't believe and are wrong, all is lost. I much prefer to err on the side of caution. After all, the worst that is going to happen is we will wean ourselves from foreign oil.

POPSGobal warming on Mars There is no doubt that the earth is experiencing warming on a global scale. What is now left uncertain is the cause. It has almost become heresy to challenge or express doubts on our present understanding of climate change. Mars, as well as the moons of Saturn have all shown signs of warming. The early 1930's were also warmer than normal and temperatures continued to drop into the 70's. One would have expected continued warming as industrialization had continued to add co2 to the atmosphere. I'm not saying that man is not responsible for some of the effects we've been experiencing, but there our legitimate doubts...And why don't we hear more about decreasing the pollution of our air and water supplies?

POPSIf climate change doesn’t grab you, meet its evil twin This catastrophe is in addition to over fishing, trawling seabeds, massive "soups" of poisonous plastic particles thousands of miles wide, not to mention all the other pollution that ends up in the sea. Mankind's abuse of its life supporting environment is almost to enormous to comprehend. What is happening in the sea is clear for all to see, even if the climate science is slightly foggy at the moment.

POPSManufactured Global "Consensus" Finally, the pretense of 'a consensus of scientists' about the 'reality' of 'global warming' is the very underpinning of the myth, a commodity manufactured by mediocre scientists most often associated with State or UN 'services', and marketed by globalized media-chains and unethical mainstream peer-reviewed magazines such as Science.
