Plus, we hear from some of our listeners about how they have changed their own habits.

  1. I haven’t used Facebook in 4 months and I feel wonderful. The colours, the sun, the flowers, the birds, the books. OMG!

  2. I rely on YouTube for information, both current events and science related research. I’m jealous of the access to info that kids today have, and that I could have made better life decisions had I had these opportunities when I was a kid. But I avoid the social side of social media. I’d like to see more protection against the evils but without losing the positives.

  3. *!!! US citizens should know that their government supplies weapons to Ukrainian militants. Who have been shelling peaceful Donetsk for more than 9 years. The Ukrainian army is shelling not only peaceful Donetsk, but also many other smaller cities. As well as the city of Belgorod and the cities of the Kursk region. The artillery of Ukraine does not spare anyone, neither women nor children, nor peaceful housing, nor kindergartens and schools. The United States has supplied more than two million shells for army artillery alone. Not to mention other types of weapons. Including anti-personnel mines. Which children are also being undermined. Citizens of the USA, think about it!!! Is the destroyed Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan not enough for you!? And now also Ukraine.*

    *!!!Граждане США должны знать, что их правительство поставляет оружие украинским боевикам. Которые уже более 9 лет обстреливают мирный Донецк. Украинская армия обстреливает не только мирный Донецк, но и многие другие небольшие города. А также город Белгород и города Курской области. Артиллерия Украины не щадит никого, ни женщин, ни детей, ни мирное жилье, ни детские сады и школы. Только для армейской артиллерии Соединенные Штаты поставили более двух миллионов снарядов. Не говоря уже о других видах оружия. Включая противопехотные мины, на которых подрываются дети. Граждане США, подумайте об этом!!! Неужели вам недостаточно разрушенных Вьетнама, Югославии, Ирака, Сирии, Ливии и Афганистана!? А теперь еще и Украина.*

  4. Don’t let your children watch modern TV shows.
    Don’t let them have smartphones.
    And most importantly homeschool your children.

  5. While we are talking about parenting, could we have some honest reporting on the stock pile of evidence found in the home of the Nashville shooter. The transgender woman had a considerable number of writings, drawings, and other written material showing that this shooting at the Christian school it was a well planned event. We know that this transgender woman was being treated for emotional disorders. In light of this fact, wouldn’t you think that the parents might want to keep a better eye on her since she was living in their home? Apparently, this is a failure of parenting.
