    George Carlin sounds like a philospher king compared to the rest of them.

    I was out and about today. Lots of family stuff, with lots of family around. I got bored rather quickly and felt like nap. It's wrong of me, but I honestly can't help it, alas.

    I thought about the owners of society. I can't see that people really give a #### about democracy. This isn't at the core of what people address or talk about at all. There's more talk about property prices and square metre prices and home improvements. Does one really need that new, second, bathroom? There's careers and professional education, whose daughter is studying for a Phd in Hong Kong! Then there's the whole health question.

    Freedom, Demoracy? #### off! It's bollocks! As long as the standard of living is rising and kitchens are getting bigger, people are pretty much unconcerned about the rest of it. My concern about the environment is like a fashion statement and it's not gonna stop me going on holiday to Waikiki, ta very much!

    We could live in dictatorship or a monarchy, as long as the material standard of living keep improving.
