Greeting and salutations to you all. My tag is Murdoch, and I'm a midlife dude tired of the status quo. The more I learn, the more I realise things are not as they seem, things are not to my (Family) benefit, and things are not going to get better. My family and I do not have the benefit of hope that times will improve as once my Grandparents and Great-Grandparents did. I worry daily about my children's future. If I am unable to help them become independent, intelligent, thinking humans who are not clocked into the mainstream media and poop-culture, then I shudder as to condition of their health and happiness as they take on the responsibilities of their own lives.
I feel like I'm not just behind the 8-ball in this ridiculous race, but actually pushing the damn thing ahead of us while hoping it doesn't hit a bump and bounce back at us.
Knowledge equals power, and personal power is a responsibility. My life, and the lives of my Family is the responsibility of me and my Lovely Wife who stands beside me propping me up when I need it. I just hope I am up to the task of this thing we call life....
Murdoch
