So as I started to put together the show tonight for Monday, I started feeling very, very poorly so I’ve made the decision to get to bed early tonight so I’m not feeling like Super-Crap tomorrow so I’m going to throw up the number 1 most downloaded show as of 7/21/13 (and is still being downloaded organically even until today).
Frankly, this is one of my personal favorites and addresses how parents tend to parent much like bullies…and even as slave drivers….oh yeah. I’m not kidding.

In this episode we discuss beliefs on how everyone (even kiddos) are created equal and are able to choose to be led, rather than decided for and commanded by parents.
We will also cover some kiddo sound bites on how they feel about slavery. One of my best and personal favorites as well as an audience top-downloader.
