POPSWhen Sleight of Hand Is Used to Pass an Unpopular Bill by Michael Barone
prohibiting slavery in territories north of Arkansas and substituted popular sovereignty -- territory residents could vote slavery up or down. We cannot say with assurance that the Kansas-Nebraska Act was unpopular -- Dr. Gallup didn't start polling until 81 years later. But the results of the next election were pretty convincing. The Republican Party was suddenly created to oppose the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the 1854-55 elections transformed the Democrats' 159-71 majority to a 108-83 Republican margin. Democrats didn't win a majority of House seats for the next 20 years. Nor did the Kansas-Nebraska Act settle the issue it addressed. Pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers fought it out in "bleeding Kansas," and Douglas felt obliged to break with the Democratic administration and disown election-stealing by the pro-slavery side. The issue roused a former congressman named Abraham Lincoln to re-enter politics, and he beat Douglas in the popular vote (but not in the legislature)

POPSYes, I Am My Brother's Keeper.
Keep your eye in the almighty dollar and your fellow man. Get the dollar and keep him down. Make him produce for you. You are not your brother's keeper. Suppose he is poor! Suppose his wife is forced into prostitution! Suppose his child is deformed! And suppose he shuffles off by destroying himself! What is that to you? And if you succeed, that fixes you as a businessman. You have all the necessary qualifications. Don't let your conscience disturb you.--that would interfere with business. Competition was natural enough at one time, but do you think you are competing today? Against whom? Against Rockefeller? When we are in partnership and have stopped clutching each other's throats, when we have stopped enslaving each other,we will stand together, hands clasped, and be friends. we will be comrades, we will be brothers, and we will begin the march to the grandest civilization the human race has ever known. Excerpts from Eugene V. Debs' famous speech on May 23, 1908.

POPSThe Israeli Crime Syndicate Exposed, Human Organs Trafficking Now link this story to the FBI arrests of the Rabbis in New Jersey last year ( reported by FOX News here ) and you have a larger picture of the Israeli crime syndicate involved in this illegal human organ trafficking from both sides. authorities say, he brokered the sale of black-market kidneys, buying organs from vulnerable people from Israel for $10,000 and selling them to desperate patients in the U.S. for as much as $160,000. Will Israel be reprimanded and will the FBI arrest more of this Israeli syndicate?

POPSReal Aphrodisiacs to Boost Desire The afterglow: Scientists may be figuring out how brain chemistry influences emotion, but don't expect to see a real love potion anytime soon. That's because you and I are more than just chemicals. We're thinking beings with a host of experiences, values, ideas, and memories—all of which share the stage with the chemical systems for lust, attachment, and romance.

POPSPagans Botch Winter Solstice Celebration A crowd of hundreds of polytheists showed up at Stonehenge at the crack of dawn in freezing temperatures to celebrate the winter solstice, the most important pagan holiday of the year. Unfortunately, they were a day early. The Gods did not take pity on them, however, and Zeus has vowed to smite those that put their ignorance regarding their "religion" on display for all to see...

POPSCan Lesbians Be Attracted To Men? I think sexuality is much more fluid than people would like to believe and I hate it when people want to put boundaries on other's. For some women the same sex attraction is so clear cut that there is no denying it. For others, it may be not so well defined. I think anyone who steps outside these boundaries in the gay community also risks a certain backlash--but as a group of people who have been historically oppressed, I hold them to a higher level of acceptance.
