POPSWhat Happens When the Microbes That Keep Us Healthy Disappear? "When antibiotics were first introduced, they were miraculous drugs—and they still are," Blaser says. "But it really wasn't fully considered that antibiotics select for resistance." And an antibiotic will not only impact the infection it is targeted for. "It will select for resistance across the microbiome," he added. Blaser doesn't call for abandoning a whole class of effective drugs, but he does advocate for a better understanding of the potential trade-offs—even if we might not yet have all the answers. "I don't think anyone was putting that trade-off on the plate," says Blaser, who notes that both doctors and patients should reserve antibiotic use to cases where they are necessary.

POPSNo Wonder They're Ridiculed Conservative Christians don't like this film, it seems. Like much of everyday life, they see it as a threat on their beliefs. How tiring it must be to be a Fundamentalist in today's world. There's a devil behind every bush and hordes of heathens banging at the door.

POPSMuch Of Traditional Journalism Went Backwards
and were so badly in the tank for one candidate in 2008 that 90 percent of the public can see it. As ABC’s Michael Malone wrote in October of 2008: I also happen to believe that most reporters, whatever their political bias, are human torpedoes . . .and, had they been unleashed, would have raced in and roughed up the Obama campaign as much as they did McCain’s. That’s what reporters do, I was proud to have been one, and I’m still drawn to a good story, any good story, like a shark to blood in the water. So why weren’t those legions of hungry reporters set loose on the Obama campaign? Who are the real villains in this story of mainstream media betrayal? The editors. The men and women you don’t see; the people who not only decide what goes in the paper, but what doesn’t; the managers who give the reporters their assignments and lay-out the editorial pages. They are the real culprits. Picture yourself in your 50s in a job where you’ve spent 30 years

POPSMD's Say: Our Patients Are Not Cattle On A Govt. Range Obamacare's bottom line--medical profits are immoral Examiner.comBridgette Wallis There is a basic principle behind the Left’s push to nationalize health insurance"making profit from health care is immoral. Since health care is a right according to the Left, it should not be treated like any other commodity. There is no room for profit in a service that is for the common good of society. No health care related services should be motivated by profit including health insurance, doctor care, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals. The government needs to take the profit motive out of health care by taking it out of the hands of those who seek profits, like corporations and stockholders. Nancy Pelosi said of the insurance companies, "They are the villains. They have been part of the problem in a major way. They are doing everything in their power to stop a public option from happening."

POPSVeteran psychiatrist calls liberals mentally ill "Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by: * creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization; * satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation; * augmenting primitive feelings of envy; * rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government. "The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."

POPSAmerica has no right to speak ill of our NHS Great article continues at source: "It is the one thing, in our digital, atomised, privatised, multi-ethnic age, that unites us; our irreducible essence, the very best of us. Healthcare free at the point of delivery is the principle upon which every politician across our spectrum — marginal self-publicists such as Daniel Hannan aside — now agrees. The NHS ministered to David Cameron’s brain-damaged son as tenderly as to Gordon Brown’s fatally ill infant girl. It shows that decency, fairness and compassion, the national traits we fear died with nobler generations, live on. That America does not have universal health-care, that 47 million of your citizens live in fear of getting ill, appals and, frankly, baffles us."

POPSShe needed 3 tails The last three were all guilty, but the Insurance Company most of all. Second comes the GOP, whose policies failed to reign in frivolous lawsuits, making Trial Lawyers into villains as well, since they could take advantage of the fact that the government failed to put in place any penalties for filing frivolous lawsuits, like civilized nations have.

They have been part of the problem in a major way.

POPSmportant update - please spread! More people joining in pressing charges on the CDC and WHO spread!
- My take IM IN ROCHESTER! SO ARE THE TRAINS! The women tonight will talk about what is going on, and how she is suing EVERYONE from Obama,Bush to the CDC and WHO!. She is a single mother trying to dent this beast, much like Jane Burgermeister. This is leading into my plan, and video I am working on now, called "Amends" my/our solution. I have about 50 people working on this with me, if not for that it would have been out by now. But lets just say, we will be able to cut the weeds out of the truth movement with this once and for all. If people dont realize the seriousness of what is going on and who is real, they shouldnt be in this to begin with because they are just wasting time... The truth movement is a waste, its accomplished nothing and has NO true leaders, and TO MANY "Awake sheep" out of the ashes of this movement a real one will come, that actually gets things done! Bills stopped, Plans ruined and agendas halted. Thats what needs to be done. I firmly believe that i

POPSDownload Black Dynamite Movie What I found most appealing about Black Dynamite is that, while it will certainly strike a chord with the old-school blaxploitation fans, the flick also works on its own as a very broad, very goofy, and (yep) very clever little satire.

POPSRadical Right Spokesman Shows His Stripes Using inflammatory, emotion laden language gauged to stir anger among the Religious Right, Randall Terry spews forth his usual brand of god-inspired, holier than thou bile, to justify the killing of another human being. Granted, he's on the fringe. The sad fact is that I hear justifications that Terry makes aped by his less vitriolic as well. By and large, they all hinge on religious dogma. Not on fact, not on science, but on arbitrary rules set forth by religious authorities.
