I've been re-listening to George Carlin lately, and I stumbled across this particular video. It is Mr. Carlin discussing suicide. Totally regardless of the fact that he manages to make this very taboo subject funny, he also uses his scathing satire to point out that our seemingly "civilized" society still reverts to the brutal act of snuffing out one's own life.
Regardless of our abundance of technology, wealth, health, and "self-help" programs, some people are still sinking into a bottomless misery and are left by the way-side in our shallow, "politically correct" society.
This version of the video also has Romanian subtitles, so in addition to being enlightened by George, you can also learn a little Romanian!
