I wish I had half the skill at communicating TRUTH as the late great Carlin. I capitalize Carlin but would never capitalize g0d, as that would put them on the same plane and g0d aint good enough.
One of my favorite Carlin quotes (that I discovered only recently):
"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"
As I just now read it again, I realized that even though it's a very valid (and funny) commentary on human nature in and of itself, it applies in a much more general sense, too: (e.g. Anyone poorer than you is lazy, and anyone richer than you is greedy; or Anyone more religious than you is a fanatic, and anyone less religious than you is a libertine, etc.)
That being said, it takes a mind like Carlin's to come up such a pithy example that nearly everyone can relate to.
ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED. And neither will racist,homophobic, or misogynistic comments. I do not mind if you disagree, but make your case in a decent manner.
I do not agree.

Everybody wins. Or loses...
