George Carlin ~ THE AMERICAN DREAM



George Carlin was ahead of his time... (paraphrase) he predicts that the OWNERS of this country will be coming for your social security... and they'll get it!

Terrific post! This should be the official video of this blog.

No kidding... I remember seeing it a few years ago when bu$h talked about the privatization of social security. Then we had the economic crash, and thinking how bad it would of been for us if they had really been successful. And of course now, with the republi-cons wanting to clean out social security again, the bad memories brought it all back to me. So I thought it fitting to revive.

One of my favorite pieces of his is when he talked about environmentalists' worries that humans are going to "destroy the planet". He pointed out that, no matter what we do (pollute ourselves into oblivion; nuke ourselves off the surface; etc.), in the end Earth will still be here.

Yeah, that Carlin, one step ahead always!
I would have loved to have seen his reaction to the economic meltdown... he died in June of 2008.
