A Message from George Carlin - George Carlin

This quote was added by cant300
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 judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine but less wellness.

This is a quote falsely attributed to Carlin and should be removed. He was adamantly opposed to the ideas in it and wanted himself distanced from it. http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/paradox.asp
