""And, byt the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet it fine. The people are ****ed! Compared with the people, the planet is doin' great. It's been here over four billion years. Did you ever think about that? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. And we've been here for what? A hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred versus 4.5 billion! And we have the nerve, the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're going to put this beautiful blue-green ball in jeopardy?
Believe me, this planet has put up with much worse than us. It's been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate techtonics, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, pole reversals, planetary floods, worldwide fires, tidal waves, wind and water erosion, cosmic rays, ice ages, and hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets, asteroids, and meteors. And people think a few plastic bags and aluminum cans are going to make a difference?
The planet isn't goin' anywhere. We are! Pack your shit."

Grew up with Carlin Humor. Classic
Saw him in Jax about 4 yrs ago and he had gotten really morbid with his Jokes. Numeroius people walked out. He went on about 30min on some speel about jacking off while hanging yourself. It was pretty sick. His old stuff can not be beat.
RIP CARLIN

My favorite Carlin quote, that echoes how I feel right about now:
"I sort of gave up on this whole human adventure a long time ago. Divorced myself from it emotionally. I think the human race has squandered its gift, and I think this country has squandered its promise. I think people in America sold out very cheaply, for sneakers and cheeseburgers. And I don't think it's fixable."

if someone can find it (I'm on the road shortly)
Terry Gross (NPR Fresh Air) did a good interview of him. Dude was a very strong independant thinker. And pretty bent upstairs. I've heard a couple interviews of him over the years and they are far better than his stand up act. Truth is stranger than fiction.
I'm not exactly amazed Extra is a big fan of his.
on another note....
Another guy that is worth looking into is Frank Zappa. Another "truth is starnger than fiction" episode.
