Comedian George Carlin Dead at 71

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.

RIP George

Bad year for celebrity deaths!

This guy was what I liked in comedy and a true legend. Rest in Peace dude.

7 words you can’t say in heaven?

Thanks for a ton of laughs………….from when I was younger and wasn’t allowed to listen to you, but did anyway. Til a just a few years ago and the movies that you did. You sense of humor will be missed.

RIP

We’ve lost a legend. Why couldn’t it be someone worthless like Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook. If these guys are where comedy is headed, consider comedy dead as well :(
