George Carlin

George Carlin's routine reinforces this notion that humanity is self-extincting like Phelan discusses in saying that we can't "save the planet because we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet!", which is true! How can we save the planet if we're incapable of saving ourselves first? His routine was hilarious but made sense in the big scheme of things. We're self-extincting as a human race because we're making mistakes that long term will hurt us down the road. Even though they are not apparent now, global warming and climate changes will catch up to us some day. Carlin makes this funny in his routine, from 15 years ago (?), before we even realized it is catching up to us. We need to make sure our greed isn't destroying our race.
