It is the fool that always rushes in to take sides, remain neutral. It is a delicate to keep this law from happening. Politicians are adept in the use of this law. How Donald Trump is using this law to his advantage. A fable about losing your ass, the old man, young boy and Jackass. Put your quarrels aside and avoid getting caught up in the hot button isssues and focus on getting our government to address the issues that pertain to all citizens. Queen Mary retains her virginity for the sake of England. Tell your boss to just shove it, a nice goal to aspire to. George Washington denies help from France during the American Revolution to avoid any strings attached and to gain the respect of the world. RIP Wayne Dyer who passed away on the evening before we recorded this podcast.
