A few words from George Carlin

[Slappie 9]

It's long but, it's a pretty good read....
A Message by George Carlin
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 judgment, 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 inner space.
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, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an
embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside
of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday
that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak and give time to
share the precious thoughts in your mind.
To all my friends in my life, thanks for being there

Probably more than a calculator under my reserve!

On George Carlin's website he claims that he did NOT write that. He doesn't know who did, but he says he's sick of people claiming he wrote it.

It doesn't even use his normal syntax.
If you're going to forge something, at least do it correctly.

What were the seven dirty words again?
crash, die, burn-in, grounded, mal, dual-mal and funnel.
Something like that, wasn't it?

Of course... I know his writing and could tell you after the second paragraph he couldnt have written it... one dead giveaway that SCREEEEAMS it wasnt him was him suggesting we "... pray too seldom". He seems to me to be a ranting atheist with a strong distaste for people of faith. He'd never think of putting that in something he wrote... at least not without some snide comment about people who do pray.
After reading his books*, you'll understand it isnt even his style. :)

*dont buy anything he wrote after Brain Droppings... the rest of the books are 95% his old routines and stuff rehashed from Brain Droppings. I think he's running out of $$ and needed to make a quick buck.

Funnel is a dirty word? I thought it was standard procedure....
