I wonder what Sen. Brad Hoylman and Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas thought was the thought process involved in the "set yourself on fire and post it to YouTube" challenge that was making the rounds a few years ago. I mean, I'm all for the government stepping in to mandate standardized packaging for laundry detergent and other cleaning products. Just curious as to whether kids don't understand the danger of being on fire, or merely find being on fire to look appetizing due to its colorful flames. |
George Carlin: Any activity engaged in by more than... four people, in this country, has got a fucking magazine devoted to it. Skydiving, mountain climbing, snowmobiling, backpacking, bungee jumping, duck hunting, shooting someone in the asshole with a dart gun, jerking off. They probably have a magazine for that. I'm sure they have. I know they have a magazine. Walking! WALKING!
[laughter] George Carlin: There's actually a fucking magazine called "Walking"! 'Look, Dan, the new "Walking" is out!' Here's a good article: putting one foot in front of the other! |

The point which the illustrator was attempting to make is that while the popular debate seems to center around "Republican vs. Democrat," a more enlightened view recognizes that these two parties are just two sides of the same coin, and that by keeping the debate focused on that rather simplistic rivalry, we ignore the fact that they're really just two different slightly different flavors of the same authoritarianism, who pander to extremists at opposite ends of the electorate, while ignoring the country's best interests as a whole. |

Anyone who thinks anyone to seeks power in the establishment is doing so for the good of the people is so naive as to be sad. |
