This is a master piece. If you have not read it take the time to read it now. If you have read it take time to read it again!GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died....)Isnt it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70s and 80s - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.A Message by George CarlinThe paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.
