    George Carlin had a good idea. Put all murderers in one state that borders one with all the racists, which borders one with all the pedos, and so on, then once a year open the borders to each other and let it play out. Not exactly what he says but still… He was on to something.

    I’m summarizing this horribly but you get the point I hope. He’s much funnier than myself.

      George Carlin was a great comedian for his ability to reframe humanity’s problems, but imo he did not have a mind for good solutions.

        He was a great comedian but his “I don’t vote” shtick really fucked this country over. Moderate, reasonable, people stayed home, thinking ‘it doesn’t matter’, and conservative dickheads took over at the polls. 1996
