POPSThe Seasoned Flag cont': There underneath the broken toys, the seasoned flag did lay. A curious man stopped by, before the trash machine arrived, What is that under the toys? Can this flag be revived? Attached to the cord from Old Glory’s top, an eagle caught his eye, The bird and the flag permanently attached, as friends they would survive. The man looked them over with a tear in his eye, How could anyone toss out such a symbol of life? “A new home awaits you,” Old Glory was told, As the man shook off dirt and did carefully fold. Once home, the flag safe, the man told his wife, Of the story of finding this symbol of life. They cried as they thought of how proudly it waved, At the home of another and what joy that it gave. They found the right place to display this seasoned one, Now Old Glory stands tall, gently waving in the sun.

POPSBy hook or by crook, I WON! Indian government wins confidence vote... The drama that had unfolded involving the monumental corruption and horse trading of the MPs all across the parties, that were highlighted by the national media before the no-confidence motion, is a monumental shame to the congress-led Govt... The poor common man looks on, feeling furious and frustrated and this is the so-called largest Democracy in the World, my dear Watson!

POPSChastity This is one quote from quite possibly the best apologetic I have ever encountered on chastity/purity. He is right on with his observations. It goes being not having sex to having the type of life-giving experience that it was intended to be.

POPSJesse Helms is Dead Mike Signorile definitely speaks for many LGBT people and our friends in his July 4th blog posting. Although, as I said in a piece I clipped yesterday, I do not take joy in the death of another human being. But in the case of Helms, it is hard to find even a core of sympathy or remorse at his passing. In his professional lifetime, he sent many innocent and good people to their deaths due to his hatemongering and homophobia. If he could not cry for us, how can we cry for him?

POPSSelf-love doesn't happen by luck or the grace of God I wanted to clip it all. Skipped over a lot.This is good to read several times. More of article: They argue that it's not loving to tell a sick person they had anything to do with creating their illness," he says. "Yet, by not owning their power when they are sick, they are consigning themselves to a life of being a victim of any virus or circumstance that comes their way. This powerlessness is the source of most depression, and it leads to more illness and problems such as overeating." http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20021203-000002.html
