Good Tuesday morning! I am so glad you have joined me this morning. It's always good to have people hanging out with me. Today, you are listening to Episode 26 of Life in the Son, United We Stand. I have a couple of announcements before I get into it, though.

Announcements:

1) Life in the Son will be moving to Monday, starting next Monday, August 2, 2021. If you haven't already, check it out at www.patreon.com/LifeintheSon for exclusive content, merchandise and more.

2) New Podcast Starting in a couple of months

3) I mentioned in episode 25, President Trump filed a class-action suit against big tech to defend your first amendment rights.

4) Internet service providers and cell phone service providers (ISP/Cell Providers)-engage in a lot of Unethical Business Practices/Misrepresentation taking place. People think we don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to challenging these big corporations. But look, we have a responsibility to ourselves to not be ripped off, or gouged, or anything else. There is a lot of this going on with bigger corporations because they've been given too much leniency.

5) Instacart also engages in misrepresentation with their fees. It's up to us to do something about it. These big corporations need regulations. We the consumers aren't happy about it and we expect a change, which is our right to do. If you have issues, such as these, please, send me a message and let me know. Leave a comment on my website, or on my Facebook page. Let me know you are tired of it.

United We Stand

Remember the game Red Rover that we used to play in elementary school? There would be two teams that faced each other from several yards apart. The first team would lock elbows and chant, "Red Rover, Red Rover, send "a player's name" right over. The opposing team, then sent the designated player running to break through the line. The first line of players must prevent the opponent from breaking through.

Breaking through the line by one's self is futile. Let's stand united as the line that keeps the one kid from breaking through, standing together, elbows locked. "Togetherness" seems to be a serious issue and it is really bothersome. We are the United States of America. We are a smorgasbord of people from all nationalities and do you know what is cool about that? It doesn't matter where you came from. Everyone came here for one united purpose. To Be Free!

Divided We Fall

Do we even remember what freedom is? (Freedom to disagree is great!) The framework of our constitution should protect us from exactly what is happening right now. Americans are free to think, to work, to decide, to earn, to build, to tear down. All to often, that these days we listen to what a few people tell us is right for us. We puppets do what we are told.

Cancel Culture

Somehow, to disagree with someone, subjects one to cancellation. But, this is not the way it works in the United States of America. . One of the big issues I see right now goes to what I warned about since last February. I started telling everyone around me, "Do - not - buy - into - any - of - it! This is divide and conquer. We can all be individuals running across the field to break through the line. Or, together. we could be the line.

People are Afraid

I notice an alarming state of fear of falling prey to cancellation. Overcome these fears of cancel culture or whatever.
