This Week's Rehash

Very few of us are willing or can even pull off an off the grid lifestyle for one simple reason,  convenience.  We prefer to live comfortably.   All the technology that surrounds us are mostly designed to make our lives more convenient but at what cost? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #google #privacy #e...

If the efforts to "save the planet" consequently makes human living insufferable,  is the effort still worth it? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #environment #politics #corruption #plastics #climate #climatechange #globalwarming #warming #environmental #green #propaganda #news #straws #

How much influence do parents really have in their children's attitudes?  Aren't the children's personalities and characters built in the moment they were conceived?  Why are there traits that child exhibit but neither parents have? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #childcare #education #parenting #school #training...

We have all heard it, "life was simpler back then" What does that really mean?  It's simpler to hunt for food than to have it delivered at your door?  Isn't it all just relative and life is only as simple as we make it to be? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #retirement #hopes #dreams #wishful #technology #uber #ub...

"In remembrance of 9 / 11"  Does using that quote justify posting pictures of bikinis and cars for sale claiming it's about remembering the people who died in that tragedy and sympathizing with their families? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #911 #twintowers #tragedy #horror #newyork #rescue #neverforget #september #fi...

Do you have a budget?  Do you have it written down?  If not, then that means you don't have one! #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #finance #budget #tips #money #monematters #economics #

California Senate Bill 419 by July of 2020, bans all public and charter schools from suspending students whose behavior falls under "Willful Defiance" until 2025 if not extended.  It now allows students to swear and insult their teachers,  not their school work, not to follow directions and not to pay attention with no consequence.  So what is school for then?  Maybe some child...

I know of this young lady who is quite focused on her studies to become a psychiatrist. So focused that her world gets a little too small that sometimes she has these unintentionally funny moments.

Big Mama talks about the horrors that she had witnessed when she was working for Los Angles public schools, where children are violated and money grabbing is the primary goal and not our youth's education. #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #lausd #losangeles #school #homeschool #education #california #horror #publicschools&nb...

The recent tragedies of mass shootings have once again focused the spot light on gun control.  Everyone focusing on this one single tool and intentionally ignoring the laws and society that willingly allow these kinds of horrendous people to commit such horrendous murders. #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #guns #guncont...

Why is it that now a days people are too reluctant to use gender, ethnicity and body type to describe and identify a person from a crowd? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #gender #ethnicity #racism #discrimination #racist #equality

Trash piles on the streets, violent vagrants defecting, urinating and shooting up drugs on the streets, horrible traffic, criminals let loose early because of corruption and drug dealers are welcome to stay and do business.

Would you want to know the truth if the truth will make your life harder?    Maybe that is why ignorance is bliss, because truth takes effort.   So is it more about not knowing the truth or is it our preference to being comfortable that keeps us ignorant? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #mind #menta...

Do you believe in destiny?  How much control do we really have in our lives?  It has been proven that our minds does affect matter and how we think affects the events in our lives.  So which is it.  Is our fate already sealed no matter what choices we make? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life#destiny #fate #...

The first installment of episodes dedicated to the age old philosophies inserted in the movie "The Matrix" Doesn’t everyone seek for a savior?   In every movie, every story, and even in every religion, there is always a search for "the one."   A messiah that will awaken the people,  that will come back to judge the living and the dead and bring justice to the faithful and punis...

Never give up!  Don't quit! But what if we are forcing the matter and that there is an easier way to get to our goal?   What if the goal isn't really for us and that we would be better off changing the goal? So are you a quitter or simply smart? #society #culture #philosophy #rehash #twr #thisweeksrehash #earlfrancis #podcast #journal #personal #life #principles #goals #success #failure...

Who among us do we think is worthy to live luxuriously?  Should a person with a noble vocation be poor?  Are we even in a position to judge? Maybe it is more of envy than social justice that we criticize these people who have found a way to live well.  If it weren't the case, then why don't we pay the people to whom we actually depend on, more than we do now? #society #culture #phil...

I got pulled over twice on our way to Texas but the experience was surprisingly pleasant.  You could say it had a hint of southern hospitality.   I hope everyone had a good memorial day weekend.    To the men and women who chose to serve and protect this country from foreign and domestic threats, we salute you!  This country is only free because of brave people like you. &...

Most decent parents only want the best for our children.  We impart whatever we have learned from our own experience hoping that they would listen and not make the same mistakes.  The trouble is in how we impart that knowledge.  Do we actually explain the why of things or do we just hit and punish so children will remember to obey our will?  #society #culture #philosophy #rehas...
