I'm still trying to fully adopt George Carlin's perspective of the world by simply stepping aside and watching the chaos of various levels that is humanity. It's hard to do that when you're fully imbedded in the depths of the system, whereas he was wealthy and much more capable of "stepping aside" in that sense.

The last century alone, humanity's made far more really dumb decisions with it's new-found powerful tools than good and practical ones.

There is a great cacophonous din of opinion out there. "A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing." It is all part of the Birney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richey, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman syndrome of instant fame. It is no longer news, but a mind-numbing barrage of images and sounds that program us into becoming non participants in what is left of a democracy. It is the coarsening of America, as our discourse becomes more violent.

People are not as educated as they were 100 years ago... we might have more information... but our brains are not what they were.
