  Have a great 4th of July with your families and friends.

  George Carlin POST 9-11 (his wife recently died).  Isn't it amazing =
that
  George Carlin, the gloriously gross and mouthy comedian of the 70's =
and
  80's, could write something so very eloquent ...  and so very
  appropriate post 9-11.  Here is a wonderful message by George Carlin:

  The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings =
but
  shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.  We spend
  more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.  We have bigger =
houses
  and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.  We have more
  degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more =
experts,
  yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

  We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
  little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
  tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We =
have
  multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.  We talk too much,
  love too seldom, and hate too often.

  We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.  We've added years
  to life not life to years.  We've been all the way to the moon and =
back,
  but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.  We
  conquered outerspace but not inner space.  We've done larger things, =
but
  not better things.  We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
  We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

  We write more, but learn less.  We plan more, but accomplish less. =
We've
  learned to rush, but not to wait.  We build more computers to hold =
more
  information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less
  and less.

  These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and =
small
  character, steep profits and shallow relationships.  These are the =
days
  of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. =
These
  are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
  night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
  cheer, to quiet, to kill.  It is a time when there is much in the
  showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.  A time when technology
  can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to
  share this insight, or to just hit delete.

  Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
  going to be around forever.  Remember, say a kind word to someone who
  looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up =
and
  leave your side.  Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
  because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it
  doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner =
and
  your loved ones, but most of all, mean it.  A kiss and an embrace will
  mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.  Remember to hold =
hands
  and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there =
again.
  Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the
  precious thoughts in your mind.

  Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
  moments that take our breath away.
