Save The Planet
I just thought I’d put up a transcript of a live performance by George Carlin, a fantastic comedian who unfortunately died in 2008. He had some interesting views, and it was refreshing that on this one, he agrees with me.
You got people like this around you? Country is full of them now! People walking around all day long, every minute of the day — worried about EVERYTHING! Worried about the air, worried about the water, worried about the soil. Worried about insecticides, pesticides, food additives, carcinogens; worried about radon gas; worried about asbestos. Worried about saving endangered species.
Let me tell you about endangered species, all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control Nature! It’s arrogant meddling! It’s what got us into trouble in the first place! Doesn’t anybody understand that? Interfering with Nature! Over 90 percent.. over… way over 90 percent of all the species that have ever lived — EVER LIVED — on this planet are gone. Whissshht! They are extinct!
Terrorism
Hi everyone! I’m still around, no need for any concern. I’ve been busy, preoccupied, or just can’t find anything to write about, so I haven’t. Occasionally I’ve thought about writing something, but then something else came up…
But here I am, the first post of 2010, and you probably already know from the subject what I want to talk about now…
Terrorism
As we all know, airport security measures have increased all around the world due to some idiot wanting to set off a bomb in his underpants. (Really?) Apparently, terrorists only want to blow up planes, but they attempt to blow them up in really stupid ways that are unlikely to succeed. Underpants? Shoes? Give me a break. The result, however, is a whole lot of government and media-driven hysteria that results in a lot of people becoming very afraid.
