Not terribly annoying, certainly not half as annoying as some of your posts.

BTW, I own stock in a lot of those companies whose logos were flashing across the screen -- because Americans can own the means of production in this country. As long as you're not greedy, investing in the stock market, either through DRIP or owning mutual funds, is a way to make sure you don't have to depend on Social Security in your old age.

Carlin should stick to comedy.

Love him or hate him, he's been here longer and seen more than most of us, so it's a pretty good assumption that maybe, just maybe, he knows a bit more about the way the world works than us. Of course, we could just go about our normal ways of ignoring more of the wisdom bestowed upon us by killing, torturing, imprisoning, crucifying, etc. those that try to help us by sharing the knowledge that they've gathered (like we've done, oh, since we've been f*ucking inhabiting this planet ) or we could do something, for a change, and listen to those that are trying to wake us up and help us!
