Sorry Crusoe. Basically it's a three minute video which sums up our current predicament in the U.S. eerily accurate, as told by George Carlin.

1. Ordinarily I skip posts without any summary materials and only

a link to offer.

I'm responding to this one to say so.

I'm not going to that site just because you tack it onto the board.

A paragraph or two, either excerpts or your own summary comments, would be useful.

Just my 2 cents.

3. George Carlin you say?

5. Rip George ...

"And no body seems to notice, no body seems to care. That's what the owners count on, the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

George was such a genius who always saw right through the bullshit.

6. He was such a perceptive soul. And bold with his observations.

I had, until very recently, his "Hippy dippy weather man" news parodies from decades ago. They're hilarious.

What a treat it would be for high school kids if someone like Goerge Carlin could have been their English teacher.

Nothing like the truth

Love me some Carlin (May he forever shine in peace)
