“My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.” – Rodney Dangerfield Most people get married at some point in their life, but does it mean that they are happier than singles? Without glossing things over, can it be found whether marriages are of quality rather than quantity? It raises a question I’ve had for years. How …
How many odds have been defied in that Earth hasn’t been hit by a large asteroid or meteor in several years? To paraphrase what George Orwell wrote in 1984, three other slogans that could be used by the double thinkers are Black is White, Insanity is Sanity, Illness is Health. To me getting intimate with a smoker is like licking …

The Jesus Movement was a good idea that got started …
By Ron Murdock While I find technology has made life easier for us, has it on the other hand made us into communication junkies? Smart phones, I pads, cell phones, lap tops and so on does help a person find a lot of information in a very short time. I find Facebook a convenient way of staying in contact with …
By Ron Murdock The real problem with the human gene pool is that there in no lifeguard. – Stephen Wright The human gene pool is too shallow to warrant a lifeguard. – Ron Murdock It’s amazing just how low some members of the human race can sink.

By Ron Murdock Several years ago I came to the conclusion that every statistic is either pulled out of a hat or made up on the spot. I don’t know how anybody can take statistics seriously as it doesn’t reflect the how and whys on how real life operates. To paraphrase Sturgeon’s Revelation, 90% of statistics is crud. Especially when …
“It’s not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity and make it work for you.” – Frank Zappa It really doesn’t say much for the overall intelligence of the human race, or its TV viewing habits, when reality shows get high ratings. I believe one reason so many of them are on the airwaves, …
Growing up in the 1960’s I was one of many lads who was raised on Hockey Night In Canada. Missing the Saturday night hockey game for me was like missing church on Sunday morning for others. Saturday night was reserved for Bill Hewitt or Ward Cornell on the Toronto Maple Leaf games or Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin broadcasting the …
By Ron Murdock Financial Freedom When I think of the situation or events that lead a person to being homeless, it could be one or several. Reasons could include bad decisions being made, not wanting to deal with government bureaucracy, unsafe or derelict housing or leaving an abusive relationship. I usually don’t think of a billionaire walking away from everything …
Spin Doctors And Bureaucrats Are Raising Sheeple I’m glad I’m at the age of 56. I can remember and believe things I heard were closer to the truth than what we are told today. But since then, it seems spin doctors and/or bureaucrats are changing past events to suit their own needs. In other words, starting at an answer then …
Recently I passed the 20 year mark in being celibate. I made the decision in 1993 as I wanted to take stock of the situation I was in, and get a clear view of where I was going sexually. At the time I wanted to get away from the dramas and issues that develop between men and women, and the …
By Ron Murdock Since the beginning of mankind we’ve always seem to be in some kind of age that goes by a name. Among them are the New Age, which really only applies to the start of history. Since then we’ve been in several other ages such as the Iron Age, Renaissance Age, Dark Ages, which in many ways we …
By Ron Murdock If dogs could speak, what would they tell us? Probably something to the effect of “We love you so much, and we’re so willing to serve you, yet we get so little in return.” Imagine becoming the person your dog thinks you are. An expression that has lot of truth to it, is that a dog is …
It’s not much use to tell people to look for God if you don’t know where or how to look yourself. Just make sure you check out the information and draw your own conclusions as a lot of this subject matter here could very well be made up on the spot. It’s amazing how artificial light has changed the human …
