Halloween is a favourite time of year and often a misunderstood holiday. Especially in the land down under.

The ugly truth is….life is simple. Do onto others as you’d have done onto you. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. But the fact is sometimes people say things that others might perceive subjectivity as “not nice”. Well we live in a world of free speech and the fact is you can’t be imprisoned for your opinion. Also a re…

The Orville, more like Star Trek than real Star Trek. And so it can to pass I finally came around to watching The Orville. Debuting in 2017 I’m certainly late to the party.

I was recently asked what my politics are. I was never really asked that point blank. And most people expect a concrete answer of left or right. For me a natural answer reared up without any forethought. I said “I’m a humanist”. I’m for anyone or any system that is actually looking out for humans. And no I don’t mean climate alarmists who are still…

Are we not a society that chooses the best candidates to be placed in powerful posts of influence? To ensure they speak for the all Americans.

Never before have I felt we are living in epic historical times. Each generation has its turning points and this is one of them. It surprised me how many wished so much harm on another human.

I’m always saying we need fresh new talent. So many movies and songs just seem tired and rehashed from things we’ve already seen. This 6 year old rapper is certainly talented with his new song “60 Miles”. But when you here the lyrics do you say “oh well that’s just rap did ya”. Or do you think maybe he’s way to young for themes like sex, money and …
