ENJOY :D

"This is how the language of politics gets so confusing for most people. When someone says they "Indicated yesterday that they didn't accept the conclusion of yadda yadda yadda" —

Political language BS afoot. Carlin nails it right here."

George Carlin Quotes:

1. "When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts."

2. "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."

Carlin speaking in a non-profane manner seems really strange.

Agree. I read a few of his books. He was indeed “off the rails”, but he did occasionally “hit the nail on the head”.
