POPSLee Sandlin: Losing the War Quite long – click through for the full essay. More: I figured people had to know the basics -- World War II isn't exactly easy to miss. It was the largest war ever fought, the largest single event in history. Other than the black death of the Middle Ages, it's the worst thing we know of that has ever happened to the human race. Its aftereffects surround us in countless intertwining ways… So what did the people I asked know about the war? Nobody could tell me the first thing about it. Once they got past who won they almost drew a blank. All they knew were those big totemic names -- Pearl Harbor, D day, Auschwitz, Hiroshima -- whose unfathomable reaches of experience had been boiled down to an abstract atrocity. The rest was gone… I think what my little survey really demonstrates is how vast the gap is between the experience of war and the experience of peace.

POPSCapitalism isn't a love story More: Let's be clear here. What we are currently practicing isn't capitalism. It's a perversion of the original system, designed within a rigged system, set to benefit a few. And innovators like Yunus and Hertz are primed to lead us into a brave new market - or they would, if we were willing to listen.

POPSAnother brilliant move by Obama.... Changing one word in its name, the Human Rights Council instantly resumed its former practices: ignoring massive human rights violations around the globe and condemning Israel.

POPSMeet Phillip Craig Garrido [UPDATED] CNN reports that Garrido has been charged with "kidnapping, rape, lewd behavior, sexual penetration and conspiracy." Nancy Garrido faces charges of "kidnapping and conspiracy." Public records show that Phillip Garrido was born in Contra Costa, CA on April 5, 1951. Carson City, Nevada records indicate a marriage between Garrido and Christine Perreira in March, 1973. The marriage lasted just 7 years, and the couple's divorce was final in October, 1980. It may be remarkable that the union lasted that long, for in 1977, Phillip Garrido was convicted of kidnapping a woman on November 23, 1976. From the Reno Evening Gazette, February 12, 1977: Garrido was convicted of abducting the woman at a South Lake Tahoe grocery store parking lot then driving her to Reno, where she was kept for several hours in a mini-warehouse. faces Washoe County charges of possession of a controlled substance, rape and sex perversion. Garrido was 25 and working as a musician

POPSSystem of Lies... What happened to us? Yep, I'm a leftest loony. But I'm also an idealist, and I believe in American democracy at it's finest, where a free press challenges government assertions. This perversion of the press as marketing tool is depressing and disgusting. The fact that it is a long-term strategy for political dominance makes us little better than other totalitarian regimes...Russia/USSR comes to mind as does Orwell's 1984... How pathetic. Get the word out!

POPSRick Warren Stresses Need for Christians to Build Bridges Building relationships and respect with unbelievers...good. Failing to speak about the fundamentals of the Christian faith (while professing it) gives a false gospel. Speak the pure, unadulterated Biblical Christian faith and let the cookie crumble. Trying to build a common ground with other religions leads to a perversion of the Gospel. Jesus Christ did not mince His words.

POPS A Stimulus You Can Believe In The total cost to the economy from excessive litigation is an estimated $900 billion a year. These include unbounded noneconomic damages; a broader use of punitive damages; contingent fees of a percentage of recovery; the lack of loser-pays system; extraordinarily broad discovery; class-action litigation; and the use of speculative and nonscientific expert testimony in some state courts. Yet, despite these increased costs, there is no evidence that the United States tort system provides benefits superior to those of other nations. For example, New Zealand does not even offer the availability of private medical malpractice litigation, yet no one thinks that medical care in New Zealand is of substandard quality because of that absence. If anything, it is quite likely that the arbitrary nature of the American legal system has distorting effects that make it perform worse than other nations’ systems.

POPSThe Pupilphile Pandemic: Teachers Gone Wild! Another pupil-phile. The U.S. in particular has a plague of female perverted pedophiles as teachers in public schools who think students are their sex toys. "You've come a long way baby", women are now the sexual aggressors and leading perverts headlined in society if we consider the mounting evidence of reports like this which have skyrocketed. It seems like women are leading men in headlines in "statutory rape" and teacher-student scandals. Society has become increasingly sexoholic , but it is too politically-correct to level any criticism for it, for the word "moral" has become "evil" when mentioned, and is now the great "taboo". The way media report these cases, and their popularity on the web, makes you wonder if it is actually being promoted this way (copy cat crimes), putting the idea into millions of heads, instead of adding to public shame like other crime reports. This is a growing plague and pandemic to deal with, not ignore.

POPSFlorida Senate Passes Bestiality Law So much for this unnatural "sexual orientation"! The bill is here. Every state should pass a bestiality ban and make punishment according to the heinousness of the act. "Sexual orientation" is determined at birth, either male or female, within each species, and without incest, by nature's design. Anything else is a perversion and confusion of nature's design which is plainly revealed. Do not miss the Humane Society studies mentioned about how this inter-relates to all of society. All sexual perversion has consequences on all of society, and therefore is harmful to all society, especially all "unnatural" acts, contrary to nature , which have various degrees.

POPSDriving through Tenaha, Texas, doesn't pay for some But in 147 others, Guillory said the court records showed, the police seized cash, jewelry, cellphones and sometimes even automobiles from motorists but never found any contraband or charged them with any crime. Of those, Guillory said he managed to contact 40 of the motorists directly -- and discovered that all but one of them were black. The process apparently is so routine in Tenaha that Guillory discovered pre-signed and pre-notarized police affidavits with blank spaces left for an officer to fill in a description of the property being seized.

POPSUtah's Buttars Calls Gays 'Threat to America' as Gay Rights Bill Dies
The Salt Lake Tribune reports: "A House committee rejected Rep. Jennifer Seelig's HB160, which would have offered two, unmarried cohabiting adults -- including same-sex couples -- rights of inheritance and medical decision making for one another. But the initiative is not dead, said Mike Thompson, executive director of Equality Utah, the advocacy group leading the charge. Democratic lawmakers have vowed to bring back their bills, with some variations, next year. 'The majority of Utahns support these basic protections,' Thompson said, referring to recent polls. The effort also included laws that would have made it illegal to fire someone for being gay and allow same-sex couples the right to sue in the event one partner suffers a wrongful death. 'We are not giving up on these issues,' Thompson said. 'The Common Ground Initiative is not a 2009 legislative agenda.'" The bills have received strong opposition from lawmakers like state senator Chris Buttars, who in a recent interview com

POPSConflict of Interest? We often see stories about the Texas education system. Usually they have to do with the choice of biology textbook and the perceived conflict with religion. I see no reason why this woman should be on a Texas board of education. Clearly she approaches her job with an agenda that is contrary to the secular education of our children.

POPSThe Wrecking Crew: Why bad government is not an accident "You don’t want talented folks in government, because then government will work, it will be effective. And if government is effective, then people will start to expect it to solve their problems ... and who knows what comes after that ...? It’s all downhill from there, from his perspective. And the funny thing was—then you start... researching the history of conservatism—people say things like this all the time, that we don’t want the best and the brightest in government"

POPSObama Vows to Continue Bush's Assault on the Constitution! I am speechless. I was going to vote for Obama until I learned this. I simply can not vote for anyone who sells out our constitutional rights. I feel a little crushed right now (only a little, I am primarily an anarchist). I just wanted an eloquent, seemingly humanist, president for a change. but now I see my old belief still holds true; Obama is just another head of the same beast, all be it more literate and better dressed. This is beyond the pale! I guess I needed this to wake me from my romanticized stupor. I was swayed by his charisma but now see his true colors and they are not red, white and blue. The linked article summed it up best: "as a Constitutional Law Professor, he knows full well what a radical perversion of our Constitution this bill is, and yet he's supporting it anyway. Anyone who sugarcoats or justifies that is doing a real disservice to their claimed political values and to the truth. "

POPSCircus goes Prime Time: See the pregnant man Another freak show hits TV. Oprah has normalized the Jerry Springer show. And I thought Freaks and Geeks was canceled from prime time TV. I guess I was wrong. This poor woman, man, trans gender, transsexual, mentally disturbed person needs help not applause. Our society has lots its moorings if this abnormal behavior is considered the new norm. God help us all. I really feel badly for Tracy, who was born a girl and apparently lost her way somewhere in her formative years. We need to pray for this lost soul who apparently hates herself so much that she was willing to mutilate herself in an attempt to find love she so desperately craves. What does society do? They exploit these poor souls for personal gain and aggrandizement. And to think that millions of people watch the "O" show. "O MY" might be more appropriate.
