I love Carlin and I love his insight and comedy, but I don't take him that seriously.

By that I mean that I take his comments as a challenge. Not a challenge to debate him on facts - yes all sorts of people have made all kinds of bad decisions. Politicians, corporations, individuals, gangs, clubs, schools, you, me, your friends and my friends have all made all sorts of bad hypocritical immoral backwards ass actions that have maimed, destroyed, burned, polluted, hurt, deprived and desecrated.

Yet I am not willing to give into the cynicism and contempt some fellow sifters do about the world and people around me. I can't look at any of the above and say any are perfect or that any are evil.

I believe that Steve Pinker is right - while we are still violent we are statistically less violent.

I look at what Bill Gates is doing.

I look at the "toys" we have, and the art we are making.

I watch two young guys go give waitresses $200 tips.

Maybe what is circling the drain is all that SHIT we do. All that bad stuff making a slow, but eventual, exit.

@bmacs27, it's still a very, very specific scenario. Essentially this is just another take on the old "Crazy Bill Gates" argument, which is, what if a crazy Bill Gates bought up all the land around your home and prevented you from crossing his land. Or what if a crazy Bill Gates hired an army and invaded your homes and made you slaves. Etc.

These kinds of specific "gotcha" scenarios always create questions, like, how did the island people get on this island? Are they native, and if so, why haven't they culminated the land yet before this crazy Bill Gates bought it up? And who did this crazy Bill Gates appropriate the island from and why did none of the stranded people own any of this land before he possessed it? How did Bill Gates claim the land? Why are these people stranded on an island suddenly overnight without ownership of anything? Did they not foresee the need for a boat before Bill Gates marched in and took the island? I just don't see such a specific scenario like this could every happen.

Depending on how recent this snapshot of wealth is, Bill Gates waffles back and forth between number 1 and number 2 in relation to the price of his Microsoft stock holdings. Recently he went back up to #1 but may have fallen again after the new Xbox was announced.

I thought Bill Gates was #1.
