Go ahead and give me more negatives if you continue to feel that I'm wrong...but I think it's a huge embarrassment to give a tribute to one of the greatest entertainers of all time, one who so expertly skewered our public and private hypocrisies...who forced us to look uncomfortably hard at who we really were, yet did it in a way that was kind and well-intentioned... and in this tribute, attribute to him, someone else's words. Does no one else find this a major faux pas?

This may be the only work Carlin every did without being blasphemous or just downright vulgar.

Life may be short, but now that I'm closer to 50 than 40, I have to say it only gets better. I wouldn't want to be 30 again. Any 70-year-old perspectives out there?

i dont agree on learning will make you live to 100; if you study people who lived to be over 100 chances are they have not learned much of anything in the last few decades; most of them have been doing the same kind of work for most of there life.

According to Snopes this is not George Carlin-it has been attributed to Larry Miller.

George Carlin even posted on his website prior to his death to not believe most of the stuff on the Internet attributed to him.

Anytime I get something like this in my inbox, I check Snopes.
They are good about Internet rumors, bad on drugs and food (artificial sweeteners are safe, yadda yadda yadda...)
