POPSAnother Variety of Insanity What defines "respectable" religion from a cult. I suspect it's either number of followers or going against the favorite wedge issue of the day. In reality, the differences are very small and often hinge on the number of angels on a pin. From the article: "At their Saugus, Calif., church in the 1970s, the Alamos preached that anyone who quit the cult would be killed, driven mad, or changed into a homosexual."

POPSFirst Woman To Run For Office of US President
From Site: FIn the decade that it took to write my book, I came to know Victoria Woodhull well, and she taught me a great many lessons -- not the least of which was that the common wisdom on most subjects is frequently wrong. She made me realize that people must always think for themselves and never accept circumstances that seem unfair, unkind or uncomfortable. Of course, Victoria's time was a much more difficult one for women, who then had almost no rights to property or person. If a married woman worked, her wages were given directly to her husband. She could not dispose of her property upon death. If she divorced, she automatically forfeited custody of her children. Women could not enter universities, law schools or medical schools.

POPSPelosi's Scheme To Neuter Verification And Enforcement Act
The Baca Amendment would give illegal aliens who pass a background check a "five-year temporary worker permit" that expires on Dec. 31, 2012. It would also provide employers who hired illegal aliens (some measure of immunity from prosecution) for past hiring of illegal aliens. If Mr. Shuler gets enough signatures to force his bill (SAVE) Act, H.R. 4088, to the floor to be debated, Democrats hope to neuter it by attaching the Baca Amendment. If Mr. Baca's proposal were to become law, open-borders advocates could come back later and pass legislation on pathway to citizenship. While not endorsing the Baca Amendment, a senior official with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce told Congressional Quarterly that he believed there was "some kind of deal in the works." Mr. Bilbray says of Mrs. Pelosi's efforts to derail the SAVE Act with amnesty legislation. "What happened last summer," with the defeat of the Senate amnesty bill, "should be a warning," he told The Washington Times.

POPSAn Investigation, A Conviction and A Pardon. Durham, who has served with the Justice Department for 25 years, has a reputation as one of the nation's most relentless prosecutors. He sent former FBI agent John Connolly to prison."Nobody in this country is above the law... " Durham said in 2002. --- Here we go again, no one's above the law or so they say. But I am not holding my breath on this one. To me, it's just another investigation, another (MAYBE) conviction and another pardon. I would like to get my hands on the guy who first sputtered the words... NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW and tell him, in his ear, very loudly "YOU HAVEN'T MET GEORGE W. BUSH and his MERRY BAND OF MACHIAVELLIAN NEO-CON-ARTISTS, HAVE YOU?" :shock: --- How the Neocons Misread Machiavelli By FIRMIN DeBRABANDER The now notorious Neo-Cons owe much to that dark prince of political theory, Machiavelli.

POPS15 Quotes by Famous Atheists Bertrand Russell: “You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.”

POPSPIPE ORGAN LAW TOOT VS. CON ED I can believe that! A great many of those pipes are hand carved out of exotic woods and warp easily.
