  The fact we live in a country where there are homeless veterans in a lot of major cities helps you understand just how right George was most of the time. The fact that he could confront you with stuff that ought to make you mad, and still make it hilarious shows you his genius. He cut through BS better than anyone else, and his voice is greatly missed.

  George Carlin was talking like this during a time that you did not talk like this. The fact that he was at the top of comedy allowed him to share and bring many thoughts to the surface. People today would try to cancel him.

  Actually it pisses me off when people continually say halfway houses equal lots of crime while acting like they are interested in addressing the problem. I lived right next door to a halfway house for a number of years and we never had a single problem with any of the guys who were there and they kept to themselves.<br>However, we had problems with many people in the neighborhood who were supposedly good people but always causing problems in one way or another. There were always Karen’s ( women or men) who would cause trouble with their neighbors or stick their nose into other people’s business, so I found that the most trouble was with the people in the neighborhood and not with the people who were in the halfway houses. It’s a disservice to people trying to get their lives together to say they are always a problem when they come out of jail and are trying to get back to society. Sure, there are some people who are going to get back into trouble but it’s wrong to categorize them all as being a problem.

  Part of me is really glad that George Carlin passed and will never see how society has gone since his passing. Then again, I also really miss him.

  Carlin was right when he said they will rename the homeless. Now it&apos;s called &quot;unhoused&quot;

  Carlin was not wrong, either about Americans being a warlike people, declaring &quot;war&quot; on domestic problems (and then not doing anything about them), homelessness, NIMBY, golf courses and cemeteries. &nbsp;He was right about all of it. &nbsp;PLUS, he was funny!

  As a society we are only as good as how we treat our most unfortunate members

  the mount rushmore of philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and George Carlin. &nbsp;This is not a joke, or tongue in cheek, this is absolutely real.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-9X03f6KX4&amp;t=840">14:00</a> <br>It makes sense….<br>We are so egotistical, we find it more important for a place to rest while decomposing, than having housing for the downtrodden
