George Carlin Was Right!

I'm going to miss George Carlin. With his death on the 22nd of June, 2008, the world lost one of the most insightful, charismatic, hilarious and brilliant comedians of all time.

There have been many times when I wanted to have the logic (or illogic) of a concept explained or redefined, and George managed to do so brilliantly. Happily, his method of utilizing humor in coincidence with logic and good ol' fashioned common sense put such a hard spin on the mundane existential conundrums I was internally debating, that I caught the shot in the head and it stuck hard and fast. George was good at that.

There's no need to reiterate his monologues, so I won't try to, but his explanation of religion and its inanity was so fantastic that I am just going to give you the YouTube link and let you watch and decide for yourself if he had it as right as I think he did.

Happy viewing! Go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o
