Sometimes, in some very important ways, it feels like the world is going backwards. Like things just systematically grow worse and worse. Mostly, it seems that people are responsible for this false order of things. And nowhere does that seem to be happening more completely or faster than right here in the good old US of A.
Then you might get around to thinking about some people from the past who never lived to see the days grow figuratively darker. In some cases, these same people seemed instinctively to sense the dark turn that was coming. I specifically am thinking of three people: Carl Sagan, Frank Zappa, and comedian George Carlin.
Boy I miss those guys.
Today, in this particular blog entry, I wanted to focus on George Carlin. Because he, like the other two guys, foresaw the nightmare to come. Unlike the other two, he did not beat around the bush about it. The world was going to become a nightmare in the future.
Why?
Because people are stupid.
The other two were a bit more polite about it, and perhaps hinted at it. Meanwhile, Carlin screamed it out, almost shouted it from the rooftops.
Yet indeed, as the title of the video (see link below) suggests, we collectively did not listen.
Man, I wish we had.
Take a look and see what you think:
George Carlin Was Right About This All Along...But Nobody Listened!
