POPSAmerica's Universal Health Insurance what enterprising young conservative wouldn't be able to add that one to this one and come up with the idea of defining homelessness out of existence because "so long as you have a bridge to sleep under, you can't really be homeless"? There is no hunger. So long as we have soup kitchens and edible weeds, people will always have enough to eat. And John McCain was a POW, so he knows what it's like to miss a meal occasionally.

POPSAt the DNC Convention, Sixties Radicals Are Going to "Save the World", Again! for America will be best achieved through policies of generosity and caring toward the rest of the world.” All America has to do is dedicate “1%-2% of the GDP each year for the next 20 years toward once and for all eliminating domestic and global poverty, homelessness, hunger, inadequate education, inadequate health care, and repairing the environment of the planet.” Once and for all? And to think no one had figured out sooner that we could merely legislate the human condition out of existence. Of course, collecting the money is only half the battle. Once we confiscate the necessary funds, according to the NSP’s helpful 32-page booklet on the Global Marshall Plan, all we have to do is “create an international, unbiased, nongovernmental agency for receiving the funds . . . and distributing them in a way that is environmentally sensitive, respectful of native cultures, safeguarded against corruption

POPSOrganization reiterates plan for homeless during DNC Poverty must be seen. This is disgusting! If Obama truly wants change, he will address this issue along with the concentration looking prison cages being set up for protesters. Remember the Boston Massacre? That was a protest and we would not be here as Americans without that act of protest. We taunted the British into violence and even into killing to garner support for the cause. Now you get arrested for holding a sign. If the DNC had any balls they would invite the homeless in and ask them what there "American Dream" is.

POPSAmerican Calcutta - The Living Dead of San Francisco You don't have to look far to see the results and effects of liberal government. Take New Orleans. Ponder the hoards of disgusting homeless in California, and particularly San Francisco. We need a new CCC to put these people into camps, teach them trades, and put them to work on our crumbling infrastructure. Homelessness isn't a phenomenon of poor economic times, it's a direct result of democrats' addicting people to handouts which removes hope and self motivation.

POPS2008 San Francisco Civil Grand Jury Report On Homelessness Just Released This excerpt comes from http://www.bluoz.com/blog/index.php?url=archives/413-Civil-Grand-Jury-Report-on-Homelessness.html&serendipity =true#feedback Which is a website run by JEFF a very sane and cool SF Tenant of a crime ridden SRO (Single Room Occupancy Hotel Room) supposedly with in-house supportive services - managed by a non-profit/for profit group called Tenderloin Housing Clinic owned or directed by a lawyer or attorney named Randy Shaw. What the City of San Francisco (like the City of New York) has 'kept hidden' by sweeping their homeless into SRO's has just been blown out the door by this well done, fact based Civil Grand Jury Report. Goes to show you. Whenever a community fails to meet the needs of their entire community, including their elderly, poor, sick, disabled and homeless by NOT giving them good care with proper standards and accountabilty.

POPSThe Costs of Trying to Save without Thinking Higher medical and hospitalization costs, lost wages, homelessness and even incarceration of mentally ill patients account for the potential increase in cost, Fleeter concluded. About 45,000 people on Medicaid could be directly affected, the study said. Other studies concluded that three of four schizophrenics suffer a relapse when switching drugs, often resulting in hospitalization, homelessness or violence and incarceration.

POPSEvery Man a King: The idea of shared wealth This comes from a wonderful brief yet concise web page about poverty and social services in the US from 1601 till now. It explains "Poverty Law" and how it came to America and much more. Huey Long is just part of the history of this page but my favorite part. All worth the read. Personally I found the history a bit disheartening as perceptions have not changed much in the history of our brief nation.

POPSRantings of a Racist When pushing an agenda facts are not important, the only thing that matters is putting forth arguments to support ones own agenda. That can be said on both sides of any issue. In the case of the Wright Reverend Jeremiah it is easy to see from the bulletin from the church which issue is of utmost importance to him. Be sure to read the Pastor's page portion and you will see President Bush is to blame for all the ills of mankind, not sin. A preacher of righteousness would acknowledge that all men are sinners not just a particular race or color. In fact the wat in Iraq is blamed for homelessness in New Orleans. The last time I checked the major of New Orleans was a, let me see, black man. It would appear from reading just this one bulletin that the Wright Reverend Jeremiah is not so right when it comes to putting forth truth. Unless of course facts do not matter.

POPS"The Triumph Of American Policy" says Bob Geldof, Irish Rocker
But it would be unrealistic to have expected otherwise. This is a national press corps that seems to notice homelessness and poverty only when a Republican is in the White House, and which itself votes heavily Democratic. African-Americans give little support to Bush — he got 11% of their vote in 2004 after taking 8% in 2000. Black leaders — such as NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, who has called Bush a liar, compared his judicial nominees to the Taliban and equated the GOP to Nazis — continue their shrill verbal assaults on the man. Yet under Bush, the U.S. has boosted development and humanitarian aid to Africa from $1.4 billion in his first year in office to $4 billion a year today. He's also sought $30 billion to fight AIDS. Trade — far more efficient than aid — between our country and Africa has more than doubled during his terms. This administration has also actively sought to stop the genocide in Darfur and has led in attempts to end wars in Sierra Leone, Sudan and Congo

POPSAttacks On The Homeless Rise “What could possibly be in the mind of a 10- or 12-year-old that would possess them to pick up a rock and pick up a brick and beat another human being in the head?” said Ron Book, chairman of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust. “It defies any rational thought process, but it’s also why we felt so strongly we had to do something.”

POPSHomelessness-A Global Phenomenon There is enough food to go around, but the forces that be say it isn't so, but they are soon able to find the money for elaborate get-togethers, hotel rooms, etc. I could go on with the list. None of them have ever tasted homelessness, and there are many sitting on millions and billions of pounds, dollars etc in their private accounts. Yet, there are still people living and dying in the streets. They have no place to sleep, or eat, or changes of clothes.

POPSPublic parking paranoia law used to disperse drummers and Food Not Bombs The Drum circle they speak of has been going on for over 10 years in the same place. Its where Food Not Bombs was feeding. They were drove away on two occasions, so were not present at this particular incident. Basically the Santa Cruz PD was successful in running of a peaceful group that was feeding the hungry on public property. This law means I cant wait in my car as a friend shops, even know I am disabled and often need to rest in my car. This law is aimed at the poor who often use the overhangs to get out of the rain. There has been no horrible acts of violence to spawn this law, which the local ACLU is against, but doing nothing about. It is another loss of our commons, that have been traditionally used hroughout history by the poor and homeless.

POPSTop 25 Censored news stories of 2007
Jimminy Jilickers Radioactive Man, the vice president is selling nukes to Iran and the media doesn't want to talk about it! And that's just the second most significant news story swept under the rug this year according to this Kronkite-endorsed .org. I wonder, what is going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy to, and how does it affect my daily life/sense of reality? If the VP (by way of Halliburton) is in bed with Iran then its not a stretch to think that the media could be in bed with the government. Its almost impossible to know where the real lines are drawn anymore. Democrat/Republican. Democracy/Dictatorship. Capitalist/Fundamentalist. Journalist/Editorialist. Sinner/Saint Its all the same now, the lines are totally blurred. It could be conjectured that much of what we are sold, told, and taught is designed to keep us just "in the know" enough to do our jobs , buy things, and have babies that will grow up, do jobs, and buy things. Long live the American
