"Here's another guy thing that sucks. These t-shirts that say: "Lead, follow, or get out of the way". You ever see that? This is more of that stupid Marine Corps bullshit. Obsolete, male impulses from a hundred thousand years ago, "Lead, follow, or get out of the way". You know what I do when I see that shirt; I obstruct. I stand right in the guy's path, force him to walk around me, he gets a little past me, I spin him around kick him in the nuts, rip off his shirt, wipe it on my ass, and shove it down his fucking throat. Hey, listen that's all these marines are looking for; a good time." -- George Carlin


While funny, do you understand my second point, which is what this whole thread is really all about?

What are you going to do today to make a difference, even if it's not much? Snarking on HN does not count.

(I gave my rep, Peter DeFazio a call to register my dismay with the ongoing situation in Guantanamo, BTW. It might not be much, but it's something)


The venerable George Carlin just told you to shut up from beyond the grave. And yet you continue. We're all tired of hearing you say the same thing over and over again in this thread.

Listen to George.

You know what's not funny? Torturing people.

I will not be quiet.


Shut the fuck up before someone wises up and waterboards you.


Yeah, I'm sure good old George routinely assaulted people for wearing a t-shirt. Perhaps we should learn to tell the difference between comedy and effective politics.
