This week on Thoughts Off The Stem the discussion is Charlie Kirk. Whether you like him, agree with or you don't, we have to discuss the ramifications of what happened.There is a bigger issue evolving here. That issue is free speech. The problem that we face now is, how are we going to proceed?Are we going to allow our emotions to run wild and continue on our progression of chaos?We really should maintain a level of awareness that our actions have consequences. Our right to free speech is essential and we can't allow acts of violence to silence the voice.Though I don't agree with everything Charlie Kirk represented, I do believe that he had the right to voice it. I think that there were some missteps in the delivery and as a society we are guilty of fuelling the approach that many groups, influencers and public personalities use to generate interest in their message.In todays society we adapt techniques that prey on emotion and controversy to sell a point. If the goal is to create open discourse and evolved discussion, we as humans have a responsibility to maintain a level of decorum, curiosity and to listen to a differing opinion.Shutting down discussion because of discomfort with the message is not the way we as a global society are going to find and implement unity and attract change.Like, Share, leave a Comment, Subscribe and visit Tots420.com

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem a vacation to Cuba and all the things you need to know about what to expect.I haven't gone on a vacation in 20 years. In fact I really haven't gone on vacation outside of family vacations as kid. Even then we didn't really go to tropical places or islands. We mostly toured Florida and Tennessee. My dad loved road trips.So now in my 40's my girlfriend, who does do tropical vacations. Decided that we needed to get away and Cuba was place to go. We picked Cuba because the all inclusive prices were some of the best. They had a variety of resorts to pick from and the beaches are some of the best.It was my first time going and I had no expectations really. I'm also pretty laid back, as you can tell from the podcast. So it's pretty hard to ruin my good time. I have a pretty solid ability to find the fun and enjoyment in pretty much any situation.Having said that, there are some things that you should know before you head to Cuba for fun in the sun.Join the sesh and accompany me on the journey that was our Cuban vacation. This isn't your aunts vacation slide show. This is a raw and honest retelling of our trip from start to finish. There is a lot to laugh at and few dry heave moments, but over all you'll get an inside perspective of what a vacation to Cuba entails.Like, Share, leave a Comment, Subscribe and visit Tots420.com
