Germs

It definitely is "that time of the month" again as George Carlin chooses yet another controversial but humorous topic to talk about. This time the subject is the president. Not like there hasn't been several other times, but this one is 'serious.' He begins by pointing out that no one should ever threaten the president of the United States. Whereby he gives examples of what not to do (as he is doing it). This played on my military background, and I think would be funny for most military audiences. However it is only "right" for certain audiences; it is only right for those who do not look highly upon the president of our United States at this time.

I believe his main purpose, like usual, is to ridicule the 'rules' that society sets forth. We are not suppose to make fun of or threaten the president (let alone any other citizen) yet he can very easily threaten the lives of thousands of soldiers every day by leaving them overseas. He uses a great example of terrorism as he explains the different kinds of harm someone can put on another person(s). Playing on every one's understanding and knowledge of September 11th, he uses the terrorist's plot of providing such harm to the white house. By conceiving that someone could actually walk into the white house with a bag of germs rather than a weapon, is showing just how easy it was for terrorists to board airplanes and use them to crash into the towers.

He began with a specific point that no one should threaten or try to harm the president for the "men with no expression on their faces" could easily visit the one causing trouble at their home. This would be interesting in itself to see just how many homes these men could visit in a single day based upon how many people dislike this president of our United States. And I think that little bit of sarcasm there is just what pushed me over into totally loving this piece. Set aside my personal beliefs and experiences, I liked the satirical view that things need to be improved on the part of the president (or next president, or next president after that, etc) for the bettering of this nation (and possibly others).
