POPS‘We Need to Find Our Way Back to Civility,’ Obama Says at National Prayer Breakfast
Obama pointed to conservative pastors who are working to “fix our broken immigration system.” He also singled out evangelical leaders who are rallying their congregations to “protect our planet”; and progressives who talk about responsible fatherhood and healthy marriage initiatives, because they realize that “government can’t solve all of our problems.” Civility requires people with differing views to “disagree without being disagreeable,” Obama said. “Surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith " or for that matter, my citizenship,” he added, to laughter and applause. Obama said it’s fine to challenge each other’s ideas, but not okay to challenge each other’s motives . Everyone shares the same dreams at some deep level, Obama said, even if they don’t share the same plans on how to fulfill those dreams. Once again, Obama invoked health care: “We may disagree about the best way to reform our health care system, but surely

POPSThe chemical treadmill breaks down, the superweeds and Monsanto did it For years, cotton farmers have sprayed pig weed as part of their annual routine, and there has never been any major outbreak. Now that Monsanto has gotten involved with the genetically modified cotton crop, pig weed as evolved into something that can no longer be controlled. In true Monsanto fashion, they blamed the farmer! Monsanto’s cash cow combo: Roundup Ready seed and Roundup herbicide, have aided Mother Nature in coming up with a workaround. Oh but don’t worry, Monsanto’s chemical solution to this problem is just around the corner. A Monsanto rep promises that a super-pig weed killer will be on the market by, oh, 2015 or so. At that time they can start working on another chemical treatment to control the then new super weed that will become resistant to this solution. The chemical treadmill is working perfectly well, for Monsanto.

POPSJury says chemotherapy drug death was "manslaughter" continued If you accidentally shoot your best friend in a hunting accident, you're held responsible (unless you're the U.S. Vice President, of course). If you have a swimming pool in your back yard, and a drunken neighbor drowns in your pool, you're also held responsible. But somehow, if you're a doctor or pharmacist, and you prescribe a fatal dose of toxic chemicals to a patient, you're off the hook! Doctors and pharmacists have been getting away with murder for so long that no one even remembers what it's like to hold them responsible for their actions. Let's face it: They're in the business of dealing poisons. And when you deal in poison, there needs to be a level of personal responsibility that's adhered to by working professionals. But instead of professionalism, what we're seeing in this case is the complete abandonment of any such notion. When the patient dies, they simply "lose the paperwork" to cover their tracks.

POPSKhadafy Speaks at U.N. The horrid translation on live TV are hard to believe. The following summary can't be any worse: 1. You folks in the General Assembly might as well be speaking at Hyde Park. 2. The veto power of five nations on the Security Council is unfair. 3. Continents and long recognized regional unions should have a permanent seat on the Security Council (like the African Union, EU, etc.) 4. General Assembly should be real power, not just Security Council. 5. No more Mickey Mouse 6. 65 wars since UN founded. 7. Nuclear power's do war/ terrorism too, killing millions. And they are pirates of resources. 8. Obama good ideas but could just be an shinning exception in the dark. 9. Cruel Colonialism of Africa ripped off $7.77 Trillion. Pay us back. 10. UN should Investigate Iraq War and many assassinations that favored imperialism. 11. Arabs didn't do the Holocaust. It was done by Europeans. 12. We're friends of Jews, but stop the aggression that poisons the worl

POPSPesticides Blamed for Killing Bees “Other countries have already introduced bans to prevent neonicotinoids from harming bees," he said. “This is the most comprehensive review of the scientific evidence yet and it has revealed the disturbing amount damage these poisons can cause."

POPSPollution From Yard Runoff May Be Worse Than Thought Western Australia was supposed to be banning soluble fertilizers for everyone. (Can't work out how they get to the plant if not soluble, but........) No nitrates. The algae in rivers had been cut when councils stopped using the soluble stuff to green up river banks. Ants are a problem everywhere. Invent safer poisons.

POPSSome of our foods are poisons!
This subject will always be actual. It's our life, after all. Modifying old sentence, we are eating to live, not to suffer from what we eat. And drink. So, better check what you eat and especially how you feed your kids; not force them to pay for our mistakes and our inaction toward crooks, making living on our health. There are many bizarre theories in food and medical science to be revised and as soon as we start to do that as better. How many troubles can be prevented! First of all it is the notion that we can safely eat artificial food, practically plastic. We are not! We cannot be healthier neither with synthetic food, nor with chemical medicines. Even naturally occurred remedies have to be applied carefully. Chemical "revolution" of past century in relation to our life and health is over. One more remark. Please note, that not all toxins are poisons and most dangerous stuff in our food not toxins, which are produced by some microbes, but man made poisons, added there by stu
