Best comedian as far as I'm concerned. He could make you laugh while making you reflect on the absurdities of the world we live in. I can't imagine how disgusted he'd be over this Syria garbage.

Seems that he's saying that the US should go through rehab, to change its direction.

There's something about George Carlin that's eternal.

In the end it seems that it will be the tools which made it, that it must now rely upon for sustenance. The gun for hire -- modern-day Hessians.

The violence and killing and willingness to kill indiscriminately has always been the American evolutionary hallmark. Slavery, genocide, massacre after massacre. Rape after rape. Then we put a white hat on it, and made them all into good guys. It was a lie, but times were good. We could rock the boat later.

Now, is later. But the world is different. It won't stand silent anymore while our human brothers and sisters are murdered in the name of ''peace, freedom and protecting our way of life.''

- Our way of life is become death and destruction, and it must stop.

The sooner everyone accepts this as truth, the sooner we can set about fixing it! I would like to see masses of people take to the streets until we get PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS AND COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM!!!
