It was in poor taste, but sometimes the truth hurts more than we want it
to.
(Uhhh...can we put this on the off-topic list?) ;)

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!

shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,

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.

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.

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.

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.
