I miss George.

A meme with a photo of comedian George Carlin with an excerpt from his 2005 book, “Life Is Worth Losing.” THEY OWN EVERYTHING. THEY OWN ALL THE IMPORTANT LAND. THEY OWN AND CONTROL THE CORPORATIONS. THEY'VE LONG SINCE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR THE SENATE, THE CONGRESS, THE STATE HOUSES, THE CITY HALLS. THEY GOT THE JUDGES IN THEIR BACK POCKETS AND THEY OWN ALL THE BIG MEDIA COMPANIES, SO THEY CONTROL JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE NEWS AND INFORMATION YOU GET TO HEAR. THEY GOT YOU BY THE BALLS. THEY SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR LOBBYING. LOBBYING TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. WELL, WE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT. THEY WANT MORE FOR THEMSELVES AND LESS FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THEY DON'T WANT. THEY DON'T WANT A POPULATION OF CITIZENS CAPABLE OF CRITICAL THINKING. THEY DON'T WANT WELL-INFORMED, WELL-EDUCATED PEOPLE CAPABLE OF CRITICAL THINKING. THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THAT. THAT DOESN'T HELP THEM. THAT'S AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS. THAT'S RIGHT.
