Quote

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A time comes when silence is betrayal. Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak out with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

George Carlin dead at 71.

I for one recall not only a lot of his humor, which had me rolling, but also his spot on political and social commentary. He took aim not just as the silliness of "indecency" and "obscenity" but also at religion, war, poverty, and many other important topics. He also worked on many kids projects, and I "know" him from that realm too - Thomas the train, for example. His insight and genius will be missed.
