George Carlin is a funny guy. However, a lot of his humor isn't "funny ha-ha" so much as "funny, but sadly, true." The following riff definitely falls into the latter category.
Here's the topic for discussion: If you're nodding and agreeing with Carlin, here -- then, after he's finished, are you inspired to change the world? Are you ready to jump off a tall building? Are you merely depressed and are now headed out for a drink (or some other intoxicant)?
Discuss.

"The American Dream--you have to be asleep to believe it"--i like this the best from the video.
Otherwise, i 'm not going to allow a jaded, sarcastic philosophy to guide my life, like that presented here.
George has my respect as an artist and performer but his world view is too cynical for me.

While his world view may be cynical at times, it is also correct. I'm not normally a cynical person, but I am realistic. If you aren't doing something about the problems that George has talked about, then you're looking the other way, and looking the other way will make everything worse.
