George Carlin was also the ASS that wrote an article last April talking
about how people need a wake-up and that people need to bomb airplanes and
create mass destruction to give all the STUPID people in America an
awareness of terrorism. I think what he wrote was in very poor taste, even
more since he came close to setting a framework for the September 11 events.

GEORGE CARLIN SUCKS!
Please keep his opinions off the DML!

> The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but
have less. We buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller
families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less
sense, more knowledge, but less udgment, more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend
too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too
late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too
seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk
too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a
living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing
> the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not
innerspace. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned
up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our
prejudice.
>
> We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've
learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more
information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and
less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and
small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days
of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
>
> These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to
quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and
nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to
you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just
hit delete.
>
> Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going
to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your
side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is
the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones,butmost
of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comesfrom deep
inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment forsomeday that
person will not be there again. Give time to love, givetime to speak and
give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
