POPSThe Neuroscience of Sin! Why do we do it? Reading this article made me think of the proverbial "chicken and the egg." The article suggests that we sin because our brains are evolutionarily designed to do so. This leaves us to conclude that you cannot manage sin as it is hardwired in. I don't agree with that. I think sin is the chicken! The article does a great job of illustrating how various emotions and motives play out in the brain not the other way around. The good news is the very last paragraph. Read it for yourself...enjoy!

POPSShould Sex Trade workers get a better deal? This is an issue all over the world! Some for it as they keep perverts from other women, some against it for morality issues. I am not sure where I stand now! Holland has it all legalised and government controlled, they even pay tax. I wonder at other people and their ideas??

POPSThe Next Culture War "During this period, debt exploded. In 1960, Americans’ personal debt amounted to about 55 percent of national income. Our current cultural politics are organized by the obsolete culture war, which has put liberals on one side and conservatives on the other. But the slide in economic morality afflicted Red and Blue America equally. If there is to be a movement to restore economic values, it will have to cut across the current taxonomies. Its goal will be to make the U.S. again a producer economy, not a consumer economy."

POPSEurope’s complicity in evil "Nothing is any different under Obama. Obama has escalated war in Afghanistan; started a new war in Pakistan; tolerated or supported a military coup that overthrew the elected president of Honduras; is constructing seven new US military bases in Colombia, South America; is going forward with various military projects designed to secure US global military hegemony, such as the Prompt Global Strike initiative that intends to provide the US with the capability to strike anywhere on earth within 60 minutes; is working to destabilize the government in Iran, with military attack still on the table as an option; supports America’s new military African Command; intends to encircle Russia with US bases in former constituent parts of the Soviet Union; has suborned NATO troops as mercenaries in US wars of aggression." How should Europe react?"

POPSWhy PROPAGANDA Trumps Truth What the sociologists are telling us is that by the time facts become clear, people are emotionally wedded to the beliefs planted by the propaganda and find it a wrenching experience to free themselves. It is more comfortable, instead, to denounce the truth-tellers than the liars whom the truth-tellers expose.

POPSJudge Rejects Settlement Over Merrill Bonuses The judge focused much of his criticism on the fact that the fine in the case would be paid by the bank’s shareholders, who were the ones that were supposed to have been injured by the lack of disclosure. “It is quite something else for the very management that is accused of having lied to its shareholders to determine how much of those victims’ money should be used to make the case against the management go away,” the judge wrote.

POPS Democrats Applauding Their Own Obstructionism
{From Page} At President Bush's State of the Union address, Congressional Democrats wildly cheer their own intransigence, obstruction, and reverence for the broken status quo. Showing their love for America's biggest government boondoggle, Democrats prove, once again, why they cannot be trusted with power. Just think while this was going on Our own Complacency kept us blind to the socialist Take over of this country. The libturdcrats main goal has always been to break Social security. JFK Broke into it for the Race to space expenses and the Stealing from the Social security fund hasn't stopped since. Oh and Clinton turned around and renamed it the General Fund any-way which in essence it ceased to exist and un-savable then.. The real kicker is that we have allowed the social Marxists to Teach our children and strip the public School systems with all Morality for the last 40 years and now this is what we get, "A generation of Social Entitlement Drones.'

POPSWhatever happened to our virtues? A well-written summary of what is wrong with America today: we've lost our "moral compass". Any "fixes" to our economy will remain short-term unless we re-cultivate the underlying virtues of thrift, integrity, self-reliance, and modesty which originally motivated our past American work ethic. I believe it possible, but won't happen quickly. It may require an entire generation or two to cultivate these virtues again, starting with our children and grandchildren.

POPSThe Asshole Behind Prop 8: The Bishop of Oakland, CA We know all this because as homosexuals and their supporters were wondering how this all came about, Cordileone gloated about his work in an interview with an obscure Catholic radio network. He bragged about how gay men and lesbians never saw him coming & called gay marriage a Satanic plot by "the Evil One" to destroy morality in the modern world. Now, Cordileone's work has been rewarded, and the Vatican has made him the most important religious figure in the East Bay. Alameda County is one of the most liberal and gay-friendly parts of the world; it arguably has the most lesbian residents in the United States, & voters here rejected Proposition 8 by almost 62 percent. & the man who leads some 400,000 Catholics from his new Lake Merritt cathedral... just got done taking the right to marry from every gay man and woman in the East Bay. Dear Bishop Sal: fuck you. Quite sincerely, A married, het Oaklander.

POPSMadonna Angers Church for Being Herself Aw. She's been disrespectful towards the Church. A careful reading of the Church's quotes indicate that they'd be fine with the concert if she restricted her songs to Christian hymns and her "stage scenarios" to kneeling in prayer. I'll wager that the tour promoters couldn't be happier, as the concert in Sophia is all but sold out, encouraged no doubt, by the condemnation of the Church.

POPSMaxing Out The Race Card In contrast, what has Barack Obama done since becoming president? " Increased taxes to pay for the S-CHIP expansion, supported a cap and trade bill that amounts to a $1,500 to $4,000 tax increase on every American family, and has discussed tax increase to pay for his health care scheme. " Spending increases " a massive “stimulus,” a massive expenditure bill with 9,000 earmarks, and his trillion dollar plus health care scheme, $9 Trillion in deficit spending.
