Fighting willful ignorance............from Rico

George Carlin [RIP] was absolutely correct. This guy had it 'right' (pardon the pun).
I once saw him do this shtik 'live' and will remember it always.

He had it figured out then. It's no less true now.

Wake the f*ck UP people!!!

And the "clueless" and/or "willfully ignorant" stumble on despite his efforts to educate and inform.

I have more confidence in the American people than did Carlin. His whole career was based on seeing the worst of everything, which told more about him than the 300+ million Americans.

I think it's the case of the glass being half full or half empty.

Carlin (rightfully, I believe) concentrated on the dark side of the america psyche. He hi-lighted the inane behavior that does exist and made money at it. I believe he was sincere in his humor.

Personally, I'd rather listen and enjoy Carlin's humor on DVDs than Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.

The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice?

Who does he think puts the politicians "there" in the first place?

Well, TOF, if you think YOU (or the "voters") put them there then you don't understand the issue. THEY (your owners) put up the money for them to run, paid for the ads to get you to vote for them, and run them like puppets.
