POPSJDRockerfeller on the prohibition of alcohol It continually amazes me that people were so clear on alcohol but just don't get it with drugs.The fact that propaganda and lies brought about an intense fear of drugs that lasted for 45 years is undeniable.That's been over now for another 40 so where's the disconnect?

POPSdrunk driver jailed 20 years "The collision occurred on Jan. 20, 2006, the day Yellowknee had just been released from jail. He had been drinking all day and, by 5 p.m., he was staggering around the Sawridge Truck Stop in Slave Lake, a bottle of Silk Tassel Rye tucked into his jacket, trying to hitch a ride up to Wabasca. Slave Lake is about 250 kilometres northwest of Edmonton. Minutes later, he was behind the wheel of a stolen white pickup truck, speeding out of Slave Lake on the highway with the police in pursuit, lights on, sirens blaring. He fishtailed, hit the shoulder, shot over the yellow line and slammed head-on into a black car. He killed everyone inside. Misty Chalifoux, 28, died instantly, as did two of her daughters - nine-year-old Trista Chalifoux and 13-year-old Michelle Lisk. Six-year-old daughter Larissa was airlifted to hospital. She died the next day. Yellowknee's blood alcohol level was .22 that night, nearly triple the legal limit of .08."

POPSBirds and bees acting up with climate change
Due to space, I have only included a few examples, but there are more details of changes throughout the world on the page. It seems ironic that we can be prepared to cast blame, while ignoring the problem. Nature will not be ignored. I remember an old Japanese saying "Do not look for blame. Look for solution." Then of course there was King Canute. Despite his authority over people the tide continued to rise. The worst thing we can do is give up. We can't argue with the elements, much less change them. We have to change our behavior. Reminds me of dieting. It is not a short term thing. For dieting to be successful, it has to be a permanent change in eating habits. Very soon, with the correct diet, the improvement in health can make us wonder why we ever ate incorrectly in the first place. Also similar to things like stopping smoking, or drinking Alcohol. They only seem hard until you become determined to stop. Then it's not long before the benefits become clear.

POPSGuzzling Girls: Arrests of drunken women up 1,100% heh, seems to be a lot of negativity against women in the press these days... first the dirty keyboards, now this! Interesting story though!, but I wish they compared to how much the increase is for arrests of men! That would really show if there's a lot of meaning to this story...

POPSCan Sips at Home Prevent Binges? It would be easy to preach abstinence to children until they’re 21, but is it naive and even irresponsible to think that teenagers won’t experiment? Might forbidding even a taste of wine with a meal actually encourage secrecy and recklessness?
