[Peace-discuss] George Carlin

About George Carlin,

      I really think the fact that his FCC obscenity case was not decided in the Supreme Court in his favor 
is a sign that Americans are still hung up with their petty standards of decency.  Carlin uses dirty 
language for a very specific purpose: to demonstrate the absurdity of human behavior and avoid the 
pitfalls of euphemism.  Should we really be concerned about a few bad words, or should we really be 
concerned about a Leviathan chewing up everything in its path.  A few bad words may even be in order 
to describe the path we are taking.

     As for not voting.  I don't vote either.  I refuse to participate in a farce meant to distract us and 
placate us.   Voting is a waste of time because no matter who wins national elections, those people will 
necessarily always be bought off or eliminated if they don't follow the corporate template.  I cannot 
believe people expected Democrats to make any real difference in this war.  If the large corporations in 
the form of the oil and defense contractors were for this war, Congress will not stand in the way.  The 
wealth is sooooo concentrated that we are rapidly being transformed into serfs for their global fascist/
corporate order.  We might as well have fun because it is a long way down, and a little light will help 
because this abyss will be incredibly deep.
