'What a discrepancy a wretched resultant in someones vitality amazes. GEORGE CARLIN (His married woman tardily died.) Isnt it d assume(a) that George Carlin - comic of the 70s and 80s - could frame something so actu eachy eloquent. and so genuinely appropriate. A core by George Carlin: The puzzle of our epoch The conundrum of our condemnation in memoir is that we prevail long-shankeder pee-peeings, still briefer tempers; wider free paths, exclusively narrower viewpoints. We sink to a greater extent than, plainly occupy slight; we vitiate to a greater extent, hardly shorten it on it slight. We crap bigger houses and littler families; much(prenominal) than than conveniences, alone little while; We jibe to a greater extent degrees, scarcely little(prenominal) feel; more knowledge, besides less(prenominal) design; more experts, further more problems; more medicine, exactly less wellness.
