A Few Words from George Carlin

We're so self-important. So arrogant. Every body's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save the snails. And the supreme arrogance? Save the planet! Are theses people kidding me? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves; we haven't learned how to care for one another. We're gonna save the fucking planet?....And by the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are fucked! Compared with the people, the planet is doing great. It's been here over four billion years...The planet isn't going anywhere folks. We are! We're going away. Pack your shit, we're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace. Thank god for that. Nothing left. Maybe a little Styrofoam. The planet will be here, and we'll be gone. Another failed mutation; another closed-end biological mistake.

Interesting. He sounds a little insane, but it gets the point across. I agree.
