That sums things up quite well, doesn't it.
I like George Carlin to. I haven't been able to read much of late, and I enjoy coming on the board and seeing new quotes, sayings, poems, and sharing information.
By the way, does anyone know for SUrE if Chet is still here in this realm? or has he passed?
I feel he has gone on, and lately, I can feel his presence and I can hear him talking to me. He is very comforting, and still Chet!

: A wonderful Message by 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 less. We have
: bigger houses and
: smaller families, more conven iences, but
: less time. We
: have more degrees but less sense, more
: knowledge, but
: less judgment, more experts, yet 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, stay up too late, get up too
: tired, read too
: little, 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 a new
: neighbor. W e
: 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
: conquered 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 we communicate
: less and
: less.
:
: These are the times of fast foods and slow
: digestion,
: big men and small character, steep
: profits and shallow
: relationships. These are the days of two
: incomes but
: more divorce, fancier houses, but broken
: homes. These
: are days of quick trips, disposable
: diapers, t hrowaway
: 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 showroom
: 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...
:
:
:
: Remember; spend some time with your loved
: ones,
: because they are not going to be around
: forever.
:
: Remember, say a kind word to someone who
: looks up to
: you in awe, because t hat little person
: soon will grow
: up and leave your side.
:
: Remember, to give a warm hug to the one
: next to you,
: because that is the only treasure you can
: give with
: your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
:
: Remember, to say, "I love you"
: to your partner and
: your loved ones, but most of all mean it.
: A kiss and
: an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
: from deep
: inside of you.
:
: Remember to hold hands and cherish the
: moment for
: someday that person will not be there
: again.
:
: Give time to love, give time to speak!
: And give time
: to share the precious thoughts in your
: mind.
:
: AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
:
: Life is not measured by the number of
: breaths we take,
: but by the moments that take our breath
: away.
:
: If you don't send this to at least 8
: people....Who
: cares?
