Yep.  Carlin was way ahead of his time.  But he told it like it is.

He mentioned that "they" don't want the masses to be able to be educated and use critical thinking.

I've always believed an educated and critical thinking society is the checks and balances to keep these asshats from abusing their power.

Sadly, we had a society that would rather worry about whether they have enough for another quarter pounder with cheese, fries, and a coke from McD's.  Supersized.  Yeah, indoctrination slowly but surely crept into the minds of the idle over the years.

By the way this is off topic but did you guys experience random ear-splitting beeps while viewing the video?  I have hearing loss and didn't appreciate that f*ckn video making it worse (I was using headphones.....). :grrr:

I live by a lesson my high school social studies teacher taught us...."When you listen to people, turn your crap detector on."
After I retired, I discovered Facebook. Now my crap detector beeps constantly.

I thought those loud beeps were censorship bleeps, but there were still profanities later in the video.
