Southern Appalachian Herbs

This will be among my most controversial podcasts.  I reflect on America's 250th anniversary and how our founding principles contrast with how we responded to COVID.  I don't pull any punches.  The COVID panic was the reason I started this podcast, and to quote the Who, I get on my knees and pray, "We don't get fooled again"!

While anything may be misused, nothing in nature should be de...
