Some of the Most Beautiful Words You Will Ever Hear from the Late Great George Carlin

By David Harder on the December, 16, 2020

As a fan, I was a relative latecomer to George Carlin. Then, he came to my old haunt the Comedy Store only to go on a tirade about the human arrogance behind Earth Day.   “Save the Planet?” he yelled. He brought up that our planet is so much bigger […]

The World Above Politics

By David Harder on the August, 30, 2020

Every Sunday morning at 7, I call into a spiritual group and we support each other.   As I listen to their kindness, commitment, empathy, care, watchfulness, and contribution, I realize this is what most of us need to move forward.   Calling each other stupid isn’t cutting it. Always […]
