This is how bad the American condition is. When a firebrand like George Carlin turns inward and goes through the motions, it's serious. It's completely understandable to feel as if no matter how hard you speak out about war, environment, corruption and just about every social issue we face, your words just fall flat to a citizenry and government who just want an incompetent religious figurehead up there.
But, George - half of us are on your side. In fact, the very cities which were attacked on 9/11 voted an average of 85% against Bush (Manhattan 80%, Washington DC 90%). The defeat was crushing only in the outcome, not the margin. It sucks, but we can't shut up now. Smaller minorities of Americans created major upheaval before. We can certainly overcome a flyweight like Bush and his new gang of flyweight pals now.
Keep fighting, George. America REALLY needs you today.
