POPS22 nations unanimously prefer Obama They don't make our decisions for us, but what does it say about how hopeless the whole world feels about the Bush/McCain outlook? Here's a chance to turn the page and end this self-defeating arrogance of unilateralism.

POPSOBAMA SINGERS FOR SUPPORT Perhaps this will get some of the message out, however, Barbara Streisand's " The Way we Were" did not lend itself well

POPSInvisible People - All the lonely people I saw a tiny bit of this then my mind wandered to how its possible to overcome isolation through the internet for example there are loads of apps for the iphone/ipod touch that have location aware social networking which in a city area the possibility of making connections would be massive I presume. If we could make this type of technology available more widely say in libraries or even community iniatives would could bring more people together and help people from becoming isolated oh and the title's from the beatles song which illustrates the situation (Eleanor Rigby)

POPSChoosing randomly? The entertainment options on offer to us are almost unlimited. Trying to make an informed choice between all possible alternatives would take too long: they're all good, so why not pick one at random? But is this a warning sign of terminal decadence? The idea that so many pleasures are available to us that we're unable to choose has a hint of the last days of Rome about it." I think that in a way it is a sign of this age of information and higher availabilities. It calls for higher levels of clarity and processing. otherwise we'll be lost in translation...

POPSThe Hollow Lives of the Happy <<<Who wouldn't question this apparently hollow form of American happiness? Aren't all of us late at night, when we're honest with ourselves, opposed to shallow happiness? Most likely we are, but isn't it possible that many of us fall into superficiality without knowing it? Aren't some of us so smitten with the American dream that we have become brainwashed into believing that our sole purpose on this earth is to be happy? Doesn't this unwitting affection for happiness over sadness lead us to a one-sided life, to bliss without discomfort, bright noon with no night? My sense is that most of us have been duped by the American craze for happiness. We might think that we're leading a truly honest existence, when we're really just behaving as predictably and artificially as robots, falling easily into well-worn "happy" behaviors, into the conventions of contentment.>>>
