Wise words from George Carlin...

"...Where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders."

Everyone's judging him before seeing what he's yet to do. That's actually being ignorant on peoples part to do so. Making a claim that he's selfish prematurely before seeing if he is or isn't. As I recall he actually helped with relief efforts which is the opposite of selfishness. Not just by sending in relief but actually being a part of the relief. So far he's on the right track and that's merely through campaigning unlike what Hillary did for them..

Love George Carlin.
But he threw way too big a net on this one.
The "all politicians are bad" position is nonsense and simplistic.

It's like...Carlin was the Yogi Mapatooty MaharaHaHa with the truthishness of ages. What if he was wrong? What if they actually did pass through a membrane from another reality. I know dude it's just me it's another 42 minutes till 420 and I get all edgy and shit.

Ware my teem at? lol

He was a great stand up act before he became a political caracaturist. Once a comedian resorts to that he's just another has been. It takes nothing to seem funny as a political comedian. You just observe what they do and tell people about it.
