YouTube: George Carlin: education and the owners of America

Comedians, have the best job in the world. They can say things that most of use only dream of saying or would only say in the comfort of our own homes. Comedians are able to do so by deliver their messages in a non-threating arena. There are many important aspects to this clip. Most of us walk around in our own little world not aware of the problems that surround use. When we become aware of the problems, they do not apply to us. We go about our lives with blinders on, only focused on what we know; work, home, family. Most of use are afraid of what we do not know trapped inside our limited minds. Unable to grasp that we are part of the problem. We need to become part of the solution. How we do this, through education, education opens doors that most of us never even dreamed we would see let alone open. By remaining uneducated, we feed the problem. We help pass laws that lower education test scores in our schools. We help pass laws that take our social security way. By remaining uneducated, we are slowly helping the rich become richer and helping the poor remain poor. If we would just stop for a second and remember that we are a nation ran by the people for the people. This is important because we all have a responsibility to our nations, to our families and to our self. The only way things will become better is through change. Change comes from educating ones self. By reading a book or taking a class, we will be able to make informed decisions. These decisions can range from voting to selecting the best insurance coverage for our families. Education is the answer to most of the world’s problems; we just need to remove the blinders.
