But you can't do anything by yourself, it takes working together and the people of this country have failed to rise to their obligations. I think he was just ready to leave this world by this point.

We give billions to other countries, billions to corporations, Wall Street even, than out people die because of no healthcare. Our government spends every penny it gets, give tax cuts to the wealthy, corporations paying 18% now, raid SS, borrow money, than holler they have to cut social programs to balance the budget. Anyway, I do have a dark sense of humor, George is the only one who’s ever been able to tell a rape joke and it be funny because it was so true.

      Hope is a good thing. And Jewish reflections of the Messiah are the most beautiful in all the world. ❤
      If we are someone who thinks we have to 'earn our soul', we may have missed the point that our soul is a free gift from God. Treasure our soul with our whole heart and give it carefully back to God when we are done with it. ❤
      I think a free exchange of information is something to strive for. But I think so much confusion mushrooms into chaos when no clear explanation is given. The Scriptures often record God being coy when He speaks. For example, when God asked Adam and Eve where they were, it's not like God did not know where they were.
      However, in the book of Habakkuk, the prophet says to God, “Your eyes are too pure to look on evil” Is this passage from Genesis where God cannot see Adam and Eve an example of God's eyes being too pure to see them? I am trying to understand this from a distinctly Hebrew Perspective. But admittedly my understanding may be imperfect. I suspect this passage in Genesis may be from God the Father's Perspective.
      According to John 5:22-23, "Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him."
      Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
      I suspect something much deeper is going on now in history. Strength, according to Tolkien, manifests itself most clearly not in the exercise of power but rather in the willingness to give it up. When you are moved by the Spirit you manifest love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are the weapons we use in battle. Against such things there is no law.

      @@prernarawat8443 I agree Third wave feminism is antithetical to anything to do with equal rights and empowering women. I don't identify as a feminist, but I do have respect for people like Cristina Hoff Summers and I do respect strong, intelligent women (My mother is one after all and my Father is my hero.) Third wave feminism contradicts itself; and thus, as a movement--falls flat on it's gender fluid, non-binary, gender pronoun having ass. It operates under the guise of strength and equality for women and at the same time; wants special treatment and like every woman should be treated like delicate flowers, with tender fragile peddles. Well, which one is it? because too opposing forces cannot occupy the same space harmoniously. These snowflakes are so flimsy; that any person, be they man or woman, who comes forward and challenges the ideology, threatens the very foundation and so; they quiver in their boots and rather than defend their position--they have to resort to mob mentality tactics: Smear campaigns, trying to get people fired, fabricating bullshit. What a bunch of pussies. Didn't anybody ever tell these pricks that there are no such things as "safe spaces?" The world,for all of it's beauty, mystery and wonder; is also harsh, at times cruel and can be brutal. Not to drag this on: but there are documentaries out there about plants and other elements of nature that can and do, very easily kill people; that sort of throws that whole, living spiritually with nature and all that into question--to me, anyway. This goes for our modern society too: it can be a harsh place. As a kid: one of the things I was taught was respect and that it is something that is earned: you don't just give it out by default.; so perhaps the whole idea of "safe spaces, without exception-is totally the wrong approach (of course it is) It is more a matter of respect, earned through action and communication. I'm a physically handicapped person, with cerebral palsy myself and one of the things I really hate about this PC BS: is transablism. People who intentionally cripple themselves because of how they "feel." Most people don't even understand their feelings, to begin with. I think there is a distinction between feelings and emotions: an emotion is a state of being, while the feeling is an objective expression of that state and one is in correspondence with the other: it's like a feedback loop. Much like a lot of language; people use terms, without always understanding what they mean or the origin. Just like we have drug addicts and alcoholics-people are not encouraged to enable them; yet some doctors, have actually carried out these transabled procedures. You want to talk about somebody being an enabler of illness? Ironic isn't it, given the Hippocratic oath. Using is something that I do because I have to and I'll probably always have to. I'm cool with it; it's a lifelong thing; but it isn't something I'd wish on anyone else; not even my enemies. If you think it's easy, you gotta another thing comin'. It doesn't discriminate either; black, white, gay, straight, male, female, human or animal. It can happen to anyone. And when it does: there's no going back. Still, these transabled people are being encouraged to intentionally cripple themselves. Fuck off! As long as that's being allowed though; I say bring on the trans-humanism, bring on the nanomachines that can repair damaged tissue and organs, allow stem cell therapies to help the paralyzed to walk. Besides, allot of these kooks today, like to sing the praises of abortion-almost like it's a trivial subject. I saw one you tube video, where a fat woman said: "I'm going to have 10 or 20 abortions." Well, holy shit! No values, no morals, no empathy. Just narcissistic, self-entitled, self-serving, psychopathic bullshit. I should stop; but I could go on and on about this type of stuff. SJW's like to take minorities and use them; to further an agenda and in doing so: they tarnish or damage those minorities: they are not a voice for them. Sjw's poison and taint everything they touch. If they all, stood around the Grand Canyon, held hands and jumped in at the count of 3; how many people would be sad, I've wondered? Relax, that's called humor, it's the visual you get in your mind that's humor; a bunch of PC robots, standing around, holding hands, singing some song, before they all jump. They are a cult after all. Look, I get it: this is this generation's "revolution"-but I worry fourty years from now; when they real feel the brunt of what could happen. I know they consider themselves to be like flower children or something; but they ain't. They're being manipulated and used by Globalists and they don't even realize it. I didn't want to believe in a Globalist conspiracy: Well, fuck me! We see more and more of it, with every passing day.

    George was a treasure to this world, and he had a way of looking at the bigger picture that most others didn't.
    R.I.P. to an absolute legend of a philosopher. 🔥

      Gregory Casey The idea of capitalism is way deferent than the reality of it. This is no free market, this is the 1% not redistributing it’s wealth for the 90% to distribute and the 1% owning almost 100% of the general market of products and services.

    George was a brilliant political satirist. He had incredible insight into american society and was spot on and his words still are because NOTHING HAS CHANGED in politics decade after decade. It has only slid closer to darkness/fascism these days. He was sounding an alarm in a digestible form. His humor was the spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down.

      You're so right about Carlin. Like a man ahead of his times, literally. He's been gone for a long time, yet you'd swear he's here now talking about certain people in politics who are as dumb as they can be, or the others who are so narcissistic & have the followers ( or cult) believing every word. Dumb as a bag of rocks! Stupid loves stupid. I miss Carlin & still read his books. His books would probably be on the banned list.
