POPSAvatar, de James Cameron Avatar... Je suis allé le voir ces vacances de Noël. Simplement époustouflant, non seulement techniquement, mais aussi visuellement. Un film fantastique à la hauteur de la glorieuse époque de Steven Spielberg ou George Lucas. Mais au-delà du film, que reste-t-il une fois sorti du cinéma? L'envie de conquête, de découverte d'un nouveau monde ou l'envie de sauvegarder l'environnement et les populations menacées? Si vous avez envie de passer du rêve à la réalité, nul besoin de voyager cinq ans en congélation carbonique dans l'espace. Il suffit de jeter un coup d'oeil à ce qu'il se passe ici, sur notre planète, en Amazonie par exemple. Je vous ai mis deux liens à ce sujet. Bonne lecture!

POPS A SUMMIT FOR THUGS Yeah, we’re the murderers. Not Mugabe " who delighted in the torture, starvation and killing of his own people, for years. This would all be hilarious if these creeps didn’t have our own leaders on their side. Witness secretary of State Hillary Clinton announcing that our country is ready to create an annual $100 billion climate protection fund to help “address the climate change needs of developing countries.” Where will this money come from? Well, Hillary wouldn’t say " but she didn’t have to. There’s only one place it can come from " you. And that’s why the Chavez’s and the Mugabe’s of the world love climate change hysteria so much. To the world’s thugs, thieves and murderers, the US becomes that fat tourist in his favorite vacation hat, jingling his change on a street corner. Easy pickings. Red Eye's Greg Gutfeld ....

POPSSo Bad even the New York Times takes notice! The rector of the University of Athens, Christos Kittas, was sent to intensive care Sunday, after being beaten by assailants using iron bars and then thrown out of his office Mr. Kittas, who was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday after recovering from a heart attack, called on fellow academics and politicians to tackle the problem on campuses. He said he "felt dead inside watching young people who could be my grandchildren or students commit crimes and vandalize the shrine to free thought." Last week, a professor at the Athens University of Economics and Business, Gerasimos Sapountzoglou, was targeted by extremists who beat and throttled him when he refused to stop a lecture. Several other academics have suffered similar attacks in Athens and Thessaloniki in recent months.

POPSClipping Comments: Obama's Nobel Lecture - Short Arc of War. Long Arc of Peace Obama only points to the fact that the institutional landscape of Post World War II, "A decade into a new century, this old architecture is buckling under the weight of new threats." Yes, President Obama institutions have expiry dates. The institutions born of what Obama asked for in his plea for "the continued expansion of our moral imagination" arose because people of imagination in 1942 from the US Treasury and British Exchequer called together whole systems thinkers to ask the questions. The writ was to answer why the "War to end all Wars" had a demand performance thirty years latter and the world was suffering from the Great Depression. The writ was to create the new generation of institutions to change the game. This was in 1942 when neither nation knew whether they would be defeated and the "goose step" of Fascist troops would echo through London and Washington.

POPSHypocrisy Abounds at Climate Change Summit This hypocrisy will once again be on full display at the United Nations summit on climate change which will soon take place in Copenhagen. As world leaders gather to try to find ways for the rest of us to cut emissions, they themselves will be flown in private jets and driven in limos. So far more than twelve hundred limos have been ordered for the event with more expected, and according to airport officials in Copenhagen more than one hundred and forty private jets have already been chartered for the event in which the world is supposed to take a hard stand against emissions. So as our fearless leaders gather to lecture the third world and normal citizens of western countries how they are killing the planet, they themselves will be creating more than forty thousand tonnes of emissions, which is the same amount a city of 500,000 would produce in the same amount of time. Sometimes irony and hypocrisy aren’t strong enough words.

POPSLe philosophie 2.0 et l'approche participative - en marketing: Canadien vs Internacional Tout ce qui est libellé 2.0 n'est pas qu'une affaire de technologie. Le 2.0 est d'abord et avant tout une approche ouverte, une attitude qui favorise la participation du client, du partisan ou du partenaire. Dans cet article de LaPresseAffaires, 3 professeurs de HEC Montréal analysent la manière dont s'y est pris le Canadien de Montréal en parallèle avec l'approche mise en place par le club de soccer Internacional de Porte Alegre, au Brésil. Une lecture intéressante. Merci à LB de me l'avoir référée... (Quelques extraits de l'article ci-dessous. La suite en cliquant sur le lien)

POPS“We can only turn the page from recession to recovery if we....." “at the very top of the food chain.” Then he actually said: “We can only turn the page from recession to recovery if we watch every single taxpayer dollar the way families watch every dollar in their budget.” Yes, the senator majority leader who pushed through $700 Billion in TARP spending, a $787 Billion Porkulus, a $410 Billion spending bill with 9000 earmarks… deigns to lecture Republicans on fiscal responsibility.

POPSA very special lecture on Ethics rest: But when it comes to violating fundamental ethical principles, Spitzer has left prostitution behind in favor of mass theft and economic slavery: lecture is about the basis for government intervention in the private economy. The title of the lecture is: "From Ayn Rand to Ken Feinberg — How Quickly the Paradigm Shifts. What Should Be the Rationale for Government Participation in the Market?" The answer: the only rationale for Demonrats like Spitzer to seize control of the economy is that they think they can get away with it.

POPSThree more quit over Nutt sacking Professor Nutt was sacked more than a week ago in response to views he expressed in an academic journal in January and a lecture he later gave at King's College London. He spoke out against the government's decision to toughen penalties for possessing marijuana and argued that the drug is less harmful than tobacco or alcohol.

POPSNidal Hasan Terrorist Threat 'Not That Big a Deal'....Matthew Yglesias
I think a pretty good case can be made that this kind of situation actually is the main face of the terrorist threat. Not a big well-thought-out plot centrally directed from a “safe haven” in South Asia and undertaken by brilliant covert operatives, but the desperate violent act of a clearly disturbed individual. It’s going to be very hard to prevent this sort of thing. As long as the United States remains a country in which firearms are widely available"for the foreseeable future, in other words"we’re going to be unusually vulnerable to mentally ill spree killers of various kinds, including spree killers who nod in the direction of Islamist thinking. But the larger point is that while these incidents are serious crimes and major tragedies for the victims, they hardly rise to the level of a major macro-level social crisis. They’re certainly not a first-order national security threat. And even put in the lower-stakes context of violent crime in America

POPSObamaCare: A Bad Deal for Young Adults Massachusetts benefits from another type of subsidy that props up its regime of mandates and price controls: large subsidies from the federal government. In contrast, the United States as a whole has no external party it can exploit to subsidize a nationwide Massachusetts-style health care overhaul"unless Congress finances that overhaul through additional deficit spending, which is really just another way of taxing the young to subsidize the old. by Aaron Yelowitz Aaron Yelowitz is an associate professor of economics at the University of Kentucky and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. This paper is based on a lecture delivered to the Undergraduate Economics Society at the University of Kentucky on October 1, 2009.
