POPSThe Kondratiev Wave Kondratiev compared the capitalist economy to the cycles of the seasons. He explained that capitalism can never fail because it has a natural mechanism for growth and advancement in that the failure of businesses leads to regrowth, like the rebirth of spring after winter. It is constantly being renewed. He explained that a planned economy could not consider or plan for every variable and that the act of the State propping up failures would have a catastrophic effect on the overall health of a nation's economy. Of course, we all know now that the Left knows this and that is the purpose for their intentional crisis creation. (see Cloward-Piven). Then, Stalin had him executed.

POPSA Manifesto for Slow Communication - WSJ.com The boundlessness of the Internet always runs into the hard fact of our animal nature, our physical limits, the dimensions of our cognitive present, the overheated capac ity of our minds. "My friend has just had his PC wired for broadband," writes the poet Don Paterson. "I meet him in the café; he looks terrible"his face puffy and pale, his eyes bloodshot. . . . He tells me he is now detained, night and day, in downloading every album he ever owned, lost, desired, or was casually intrigued by; he has now stopped even listen ing to them, and spends his time sleeplessly monitoring a progress bar. . . . He says it's like all my birthdays have come at once, by which I can see he means, precisely, that he feels he is going to die."

POPSAsk The Brain How very true. I set some extremely difficult goals last year and actually stuck to them all. Sense of achievement aside, sometimes I feel like I've done "time."

POPSInnocence Undone--Frame By Frame "But I’m pressing on, determined to learn just how much of my life is based on false pretenses. I am dreading what I am going to find in “My Favorite Martian” and “The Addams Family”; highly skeptical that “The Flying Nun” was either really flying or really a nun. But there’s one show, at least, that I’m sure won’t let me down: “Mister Ed,” about the talking horse. I know that was real. Heck, you could see his lips move." :)

POPSThe role of land use in global warming Forested areas provide the combined benefits of directly cooling the atmosphere and of absorbing greenhouse gases, leading to additional cooling. Green architecture in cities, including green roofs and more highly reflective construction materials, would further contribute to a slowing of warming rates. Stone envisions local and state governments taking the lead in addressing the land use drivers of climate change, while the federal government takes the lead in implementing carbon reduction initiatives, like cap and trade programs.
