| 0:20.0 | Today I want to bring you an interesting story. I thought this would be nice on July 4th. It's not very festive, but it does highlight your freedom, your personal freedom. Freedom from what? Well, I'm going to explain this after the story. Some of you might have heard of the scorpion and the frog, but not many people seem to have heard this story. I've said this, I don't know, dozens of times and maybe one out of 50 people actually have heard this story. And I had a family party yesterday and I had this |
