George Carlin

George Carlin is a prophet and as a good prophet he would disclaim all those
who would call him such.  He says "I do not identify with the local group.  I
love and treasure individuals as I meet them, I loathe and despise the groups
they identify with and belong to."

Read his book "Braindroppings" and you will see how he accurately tells us
about how low the US has fallen from its promise...

For example:
"Man's noble aspect is the aberration.  Art, music and philosophy are merely
poignant examples of what we might have been had not the priests and traders
gotten hold of us. I think the human game was over a long time ago when they
took over."

and

"The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep
to believe it.  (Because) the United States is a Christian racist nation with
a rigged economic system run for three hundred years by the least morally
qualified of the two sexes, there were bound to be some real victims.  People
who've been elaborately fucked over."

and finally

"Americans are fucked.  They've been bought off.  And they came real cheap:
 a few million dirt bikes, camcorders, microwaves, cordless phones, digital
 watches, answering machines, jet skis, and sneakers with lights on them.
 You say you want a few items back from the Bill of Rights?  Just promise the
 doofuses new gizmos."
