RE: Fw: George Carlin, Surprise it's clean
This is not a funny joke - when you read it and think
about what he says, it's actually very sad. The man
is truly a genius - what a shame the "dirty words" are
the things that get attention. K

The Paradox of our Time - George Carlin
>>
>> 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 it 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, but 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 too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired,
>> read too seldom, 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 the new neighbor.
>>
>> We've 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
>> split 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 have less communication.
>>
>> These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;
>> tall men, and short character; steep profits, and
>> shallow relationships. These are the times of world
>> peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less
>> fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are
>> days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier
>> houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick
>> trips, disposable diapers, throw-away 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 show 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.
>>
>> George Carlin
