Words of Wisdom ~ George Carlin: I Gave Up On My Species
- Thread starter Miss*Bijou
- Start date
And how is posting a short interview with one of the most astute observers of modern culture evidence of rancor and anger?
I find Miss B's posts to be endlessly optimistic -- that someone might see some of the same problems she does and pass the word.
Or is it that you just don't think a service provider should be opinionated?
I have thought the same things as dear old George. Rest his soul. (not that he believed in the afterlife)
I may have given up on the human race, but I will never give up on people like Miss Bijoux. She cares so much, so passionately.. There is no doubt in my mind that she is heartbroken by mankind- as I am, but she puts forth much effort to educate us to truths we would rather ignore. I believe she does this because she has a glimmer of hope in her, despite her undeniable acceptance of our true nature.
She thinks maybe we can change. And this exemplifies optimism. Thank you, for all your work, Miss B.

Ah, youth.... Just google his name or look up some clips on youtube. He was the premier comedian of his time, always with an element of social commentary. His skill was always his stand-up, which had to be toned down for television, but many of his routines are well-documented. His most famous bit was probably "seven words you can't say on television."who is he?
The guy played to sold out crowds until his death. You may not have liked him but his fanbase never wavered.The irony of course is that most people gave up on him long before he gave up on them
Every performer has their fan base, but his days of prime time were long gone by the time he died. He was primarily a performer of the late 80s and 90s.
Actually, his popularity may have been the greatest during the late sixties and early seventies -- appearances on Johnny Carson and the first host of Saturday Night Live. The Hippy Dippy Weatherman ("tonight's forecast: dark") and his best-selling comedy albums are from this period.
