POPSThe Story of the Red Poppy So the Americans arranged for artificial poppies to be made by women in war-ravaged northern France. The funds raised from selling the poppies were for children who had suffered because of the war. In Britain, the weary soldiers came back from the grimness of war to find that life was hard at home too, though in a different way. Many of the men were wounded or disabled or suffering the effects of gas and shell-shock. Many were physically or mentally unable to work; many others found that there were no jobs anyway. The provision made for them by the state was less than adequate. They certainly didn't get the heroes' homecoming that they had been led to expect. So ex-servicemen's societies united in 1921 to form the British Legion. Its purpose was to provide support to ex-servicemen, especially the disabled, and their families, and it was to become one of the most successful British charities ever.

POPSTerminally ill grandmother 'left to starve' by doctors Under NHS guidance introduced in England, medical staff can withdraw fluid and drugs from dying patents and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away. But this approach can also mask signs of improvement, it has been argued. Miss Ball, who had been looking after her mother before she was admitted to the Conquest hospital, Hastings, East Sussex, on Jan 11, said she had to fight hospital staff for weeks before her mother was taken off the plan and given artificial feeding. Miss Ball, 42, a carer, from Robertsbridge, East Sussex, said: “My mother was going to be left to starve and dehydrate to death. It really is a subterfuge for legalised euthanasia of the elderly on the NHS. ”

POPSThings That I Know That You Should Know Too The video is mostly about Anthrax, but there are many dangerous "little buggers" out there we should all know about. From several types of Herpes, to H1N1. Most have treatments none have true cures. While scientists study these endlessly, the big pharmaceutical companies are not funding research for cures. There is no big future profit if there is no disease. There is huge profit in treatments, and medicines. Funding for cure research comes from "venture philanthropy", private donation and other non-governmental groups and grants. A lot of money for college research comes from the alumni, and very little from government grants.

POPSLawrence O'Donnell Exposes GOP Congressman's Hypocrisy On Government Health Care (VIDEO) Again, Culberson refused to give a straight answer and complained about O'Donnell's persistence. O'Donnell replied: "I don't want you to spin your time away here." Culberson later admitted that he would have voted for Social Security in 1935 and "probably" would have voted for Medicare in 1965. An exasperated O'Donnell asked the Congressman: "You know that Medicare is a completely government-run health care system and yet you're saying you would have voted for it." Culberson's response: "Yes"

POPSThe Arab Peace Initiative: Arab Generosity, Israeli Intransigence 'There are no indications that the current American peace efforts are likely to produce any results. The Americans have, despite much persistence, lost the first and only round. Israel did not budge on the issue of stopping building settlements regardless of how trivial this issue is in comparison to others. Yet the Arabs have to shoulder the blame once more. To save face the American side had to deal with the issue of the settlement freeze not as a bilateral American-Israeli matter, but as part of a larger package. They conditioned Israeli compliance on Arab readiness for instant normalisation. This formula made it easy to press the claim that the Arab reluctance to start normalising must be blamed for Israeli rejection of the American demand of settlement freeze.'
