Competitive Knowledge for Manufacturing People 
==========================================

It’s time to take another break from my preaching.

Another of my favorite comedians is George Carlin. 
If you’ve never had the opportunity to catch one 
of George’s routines, you’ve missed a unique comedy 
experience. 

Carlin mixes comedy with in-you-face real life issues.
He is an effective, outspoken critic of where we are 
taking America.

If you have never heard his “AMERICA” you’re in for 
a treat. It’s the only reading you’ll have in this 
bulletin. Don’t skip it!

Enjoy,

==========================================

AMERICA

The paradox of our time in history is that we have 
taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, 
but narrower viewpoints.

We spend 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 judgment, more experts, yet more problems, 
more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too 
recklessly, laugh too little, read too little, watch 
TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our 
values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate 
too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. 
We've added years to life, not life to years. We've 
been all the way to the moon and back, but have 
trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

We conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've 
done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleared up the air, but polluted the soul. 
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but 
accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to 
wait. We build more computers to hold more information, 
to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate 
less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, 
big men and small character, steep profits and shallow 
relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce; 
fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, 
throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight 
bodies and pills that do everything from cheer to 
quiet to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom 
window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when 
technology can bring this letter to you, and a time 
when you can choose either to share this insight or 
to just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, 
because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to 
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow 
up and leave your side.

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, 
because that is the only treasure you can give with 
your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember to say "I love you" to your partner and your 
loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an 
embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside 
of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for 
someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time 
to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we 
take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

— George Carlin
