Mike Rivero on Life Health and Wellness
Mike Rivero emigrated to a new server, but is now running well, with new daily quotes on whatreallyhappened.com
- The universe began the day I was born and it will end the day I die. All else is speculation.
- These are not my golden years. It's actually rust!
- To a dog, fleas are an annoyance. To a flea, dogs are a divine right. When the flea dies, the dog goes on being a dog. When the dog dies, the fleas merely jump to a new dog.
- Life makes jokes of our childhood plans.
- We are descended from the apes, but apparently not that far!
- The most evil creatures in the universe are those who can only feel rich when all others are made poor.
- The reason no advanced civilization has visited our planet may be that none survived "tinkering" with the chemistry of their own biology as humans are just now starting to do to DNA with devastating consequences, and thus drove themselves to extinction before they could reach the stars.
- There is really only one racial category; human!
- Of course there is a population problem. Sex is more fun than dying.
- Scientists talk about how "lucky" we are that Earth is in the "right" place for life to develop, but they have it backwards. We are the life that evolves on a planet in these conditions. We find Earth comfortable because we evolved here. We see the so-called visible spectrum because that is the light that gets through the atmosphere to illuminate the world. Beings from another world may well see Earth as hostile in the extreme and marvel that we are able to survive and thrive under such unpleasant conditions.
- Morality is based on respect for your fellow human being. If you remember that one idea, then you need not bother memorizing endless lists of arbitrary rules and laws. You will know what is right and wrong.
- SEE THE WORLD AS THE SKY SEES IT! THE SKY SEES LAND. THE SKY SEES WATER. THE SKY SEES PEOPLE.BUT THE SKY SEES NO LINES, BECAUSE LINES ARE IMAGINARY THINGS THAT DIVIDE THE LAND, DIVIDE THE WATER, AND DIVIDE THE PEOPLE.SEE THE WORLD AS THE SKY SEES IT!

- I've had good luck with marriage. My first wife left me, and the second one didn't.
- If you oppose gay marriage, don't marry a gay. Problem solved! But history shows us that the greatest evils all start when one person believes they have a divine right to impose their way of life, way of government, way of banking, on others against their will.
- I have been assured by the buy-bull bangers that I will spend eternity in hell. If so, I see no reason not to fully qualify for admission before I go!
- I have never really seen a 'white man' or a 'black man'. They all look like varying shades of tan to me.
- I told my wife I wanted to grow old with her. THIS isn't what I had in mind!
- It's a sick society when our weapons have more jewellery than our wives!", commenting on Tomahawk Cruise Missiles containing 15 kilograms of silver each.
- GMO is not a safe technology. If it were, the food companies would plaster "CONTAINS GMO!" on all their labels.
- I find it amazing that so many obsess with being remembered after their death, when they personally shall have no interest in the matter!
- If the government has to order you to buy a product, you know the product is costly, useless, and probably dangerous as well!
- I find it hard to understand people who scream of the sanctity of life with regard to the unborn while eagerly seeking the deaths of the already-born in wars.
- I find that those speaking out loudest against homosexuality are usually those less than certain about their own leanings!

- I do not recognize the authority of anyone to control my life and my body, especially if their sole claim to such authority is great wealth accumulated by questionable means.

- History has shown that everyone who was ever used, betrayed, or lied to had it done to them by someone they thought they could trust.
- Everyone knows that alcohol destroys brain cells. But I have dedicated my life to testing the theory that if you drink exactly the right amount, only the weak brain cells will die!
- Eat the rich. They taste like chicken and they are not radioactive!
- Death is a democratic process. When the number of your bodily parts that don't work outnumbers the parts that do, you die!
- Deciding for yourself what is right and wrong is a necessary step towards freedom.
- Christians have murdered many a philosopher, but Philosophers rarely return the favour.
- 'Civilization' is just a fancy word for a corral for humans.
- Ben Franklin was wrong when he said 'Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.' I'm sickly, poor, and dumb; I just get to it earlier than anyone else!
- At my age I am buying condolence cards by the box!
- Are we civilized, or merely domesticated?
- We will never have a healthy society so long as disease is a profit opportunity.
- You know you are getting older when you buy condolence cards by the box!

- What amazes me are all these people screaming to save the world from carbon dioxide who will not lift a finger against war.

- When you are my age (and look the way I do) admiring a beautiful woman is like reading National Geographic. You see a beautiful exotic location you don't actually plan on visiting!
- You can eat the Government's recommended foods. You can swallow the Government's recommended drugs. You can follow the Government's recommended exercise program. You're still gonna die after a lifetime of doing what the Government tells you to do. So, I'm having pizza and scotch for dinner!
- Alone among all of Earth's life forms, humans alone perceive the absolute inevitability of their own mortality. For thousands of years, con artists have exploited that fear of the inevitable end of life, offering for sale various magical escapes from the grave, and all the acolytes have to do is surrender their money, their obedience, and their sanity.
- You can't sue mother nature.
