Talk about putting us in our place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=07w9K2XR3f0 Thank you. Not for the mullet, although it is quite an excellent piece of work, but for finding somebody reasonably famous for saying what I've been saying in other threads. It's ignorance, man. That's our problem. If George Carlin agrees with me, then I feel like I must be onto something.

Title: Re: George Carlin Rant About Politics Post by: bgwah on September 30, 2012, 11:36:15 PM I tend to think that you should vote if you want to complain. Vote for a third party candidate if you must, but still vote.

While humour is subjective, you are factually incorrect about a few things. Carlin was neither a baby boomer (1937) or had their sensibilities. He actually was very critical of and made much sport on the boomer generation. Here is just one example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Sal6N5OiE Title: Re: George Carlin Rant About Politics Post by: Leftbehind on October 02, 2012, 02:22:21 PM I tend to think that you should vote if you want to complain. Vote for a third party candidate if you must, but still vote. I think that falls under his first category: meaningless. Enjoyed the video.
