Summary

A guard at the notorious San Quentin Penitentiary near San Francisco takes issue with my overly broad characterization last week. Another California corrections officer comments on my preference for fines, flogging and execution over incarceration. A Colombian family writes from Singapore, to where they moved from Malaysia, telling of how they overcame dark times and broke through to prosperity. Then, it's on to the true story of how Bernie and Arthur got fired from a small hardware store in 1978 and started Home Depot. Wasn’t that a great response to losing a job? Also, how 120 million Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, and Portuguese are enjoying their siestas and retirements on the work of 80 million Germans. And that is not to mention the 1.5 million Muslim immigrants they’re also supporting. If you’re trying to start a business or grow one, you have to think outside the box. You must escape the confinement of the conventional. But if you leap too far out of the box, if you’re too unconventional, you might be stepping over the legal line. Yet, if all you do is repeat what others before you have done, your business will fail. What’s one to do? Happily, there is an answer that pops out of one little verse in Deuteronomy and which Jews have used for generations to achieve financial abundance. Now, you can too.

0:00.0	The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.
0:06.8	This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.
0:15.1	Welcome, all you happy warriors, you eager devotees of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin's show.
0:25.1	Why do I call you happy warriors?
0:27.8	Well, because I see every single one of you, regardless of your age or condition,
0:32.6	as either a beautiful and nubile woman or a handsome and virile man. No gender spectrum here, no confusion
0:41.4	on the Rabbi Daniel Lappin show, just happy warrior men and happy warrior women. And that's because
0:49.6	this show is focused even more on our souls than upon our bodies. And I know that every listener
0:59.8	has a young and vibrant soul. What is more? We are all happy warriors because to live productively,
1:10.5	you have to fight every single day. We're all happy
1:17.2	warriors because to live productively you have no option. You have to fight, well, for a start,
1:25.7	against the force of entropy.
1:28.7	The force of entropy?
1:31.0	Well, that's because God created a world in which chaos and disorder rule.
1:39.1	Chaos and disorder have the tide going with them.
1:49.9	That's Genesis chapter 1, verse 2. And the earth was chaos and confused. The Hebrew, interestingly enough, is Tohu-Bohu. Let me come back to that in just a
1:58.8	moment. But surviving every day means fighting against the forces of entropy.
2:06.7	The forces of entropy are the natural forces that tend to change order into disorder, that tend to convert pattern into chaos.
2:19.3	And that is true for our possessions.
2:24.3	If you stop maintaining and working on your possessions, getting your car cleaned and repaired,
2:29.3	fixing your house, you end up with these things deteriorated. They start looking disordered and not
