My apologies if this has been posted before, but this is a jem ("Doomer Humor"):

The Planet is Fine part 1

The Planet is Fine part 2

[NEOPO]

Wow Carlin is a doomer huh?

"The planet is fine. It's the people that are fucked".

[strider3700]

Carlin has been a doomer forever. Long before he cared about the environment taking us out he figured we'd off each other. One way or the other he'd probably right.

Link to video It's a few minutes long, and spot on!

Yes, George Carlin gets it. But I suspect he doesn't see the same people sitting in power that you see, NordicHero.

Read about Rupert Murdoch some time. I think Rupert is a charter member of the "club" as Carlin refers to it.

Murdoch has done so much to eliminate crticial thought in the media, and shift the focus to the instant sensational over the real analysis of things.

God bless George Carlin.

Yet there remains space, it is a lonely space, kind of like montana, but there is space to exercise that free thought. I won't try to deny much of what George had to say but there seems to me to be a little bit of hope in the fact that he thought it, more that he said it and even more that we heard it and can agree with it.

We might be frustrated at the state of the union, but we know what it is that frustrates us and that is a good start, and that is a blessing that we should always take time to count when everything else seems so dire.

Carlin does a lot of bending over himself, whoring for the big finance companies and the steal-your-retirement funds.

I've lost all respect for him.

[DomusAlbion]

Carlin has always been a dope-smoking, cynical, negative bastard.

I've never liked him or his material.

Yes, dear.

I'm sorry.

I'll go make dinner now.

Yeah, me too. How can you look at the shit WE create without being cynical and negative. I gave up dope smoking long ago though I sometimes think I should take it back up, beat reality.

The problem with America is US, as in "we the people." Why? How do I know this? Go back to the 2000 election, W did not "steal" it, large numbers of US voted for him. The question is not how he stole the election, the problem is that he got ANY VOTES AT ALL. And 2004? Sure Kerry is a wooden nerd but W won that fair and square. He should not have gotten more than 10% of the votes, and them because they emptied out the mental health institutions.

The question is why isn't everyone cynical and negative and pissed off!

[frankthetank]

Carlin isn't perfect, but he's funny most of the time and makes a lot of good points. The part about the midwest flooding had me laughing because there is so much truth to it.

I started digging Carlin when I was 6 and have not stopped.
Go George!
