The art of conversation and good communication is dying in our technological society. Here are some basic guidelines for effectively resolving conflict.

I was playing around on the piano tonight ... not with any particular song in mind when I started to play, "Let Us Oft Speak Kind Words" and as I got about halfway through, it morphed into "God Bless America." I didn't intend to put the two together, but they fit perfectly. Once I realized what I'd done, I thought, "How fitting... isn't this what our country needs right now?"

Let us oft speak kind words to each other

At home or where 'er we may be;

Like the warblings of birds on the heather,

The tones will be welcome and free.

...

From the mountains

To the prairies

To the oceans

White with foam.

God bless America,

My home sweet home.

Like the sunbeams of morn on the mountains,

the soul they awake to good cheer;

Like the murmur of cool, pleasant fountains,

They fall in sweet cadences near.

...

From the mountains

To the prairies

To the oceans

White with foam.

God bless America,

My home sweet home

Traditional journalism is dead. Here are some strategies and tips for discerning fact from fake news in a sea of opinion, distortions, disinformation and falsehood.

Marnie's husband Dave Kuhns joins her in this episode to talk about how society is moving toward an inability to forgive. With technology recording our words and actions, creating a record of nearly everything we do and say, there has to be room for forgiveness and the ability for people to change and grow. Unfortunately there seems to be zero tolerance and no statute of limitations on societal "crimes."

In this episode of Front Porch Sense, Marnie talks about ways that we can all take personal responsibility for the environment in a practical way without the need for intense government intervention or militant environmentalism. This episode includes practical ideas you can start implementing in your life today to take personal responsibility for the environment around you.

The problems of our society will never be fixed by more laws or more controls. We have enough laws. What we need is self-mastery, self-government. In a word, morality.

What do morality, time, governments, and money all have in common? Standards. They all need standards of measurement outside of the system they measure.

We hear the slogan Make America Great Again, but what really makes America great? What does greatness look like and how do we return to it?

Why do we need the Electoral College and why is the National Popular Vote (NPV) movement with its contracts that bind the states' electoral college votes over to the national popular vote winner so dangerous to our freedom? This episode explores the convergence of open border immigration, the 2020 census, the NPV movement, and the no ID required for voting movement. The combination will be deadly for our republic.

"Are you a U.S. Citizen?" is a standard question on a U.S. Census. The 2020 U.S. Census is upon us and now this has become a controversial question. Some say it shouldn't be asked. Others say it should. You might be wondering why it matters. This episode explains the role of the census in how our representatives and presidents are elected and why the citizenship question is critical.
