Do you have some videos you would like to share?

I got a kick out of hearing him say that kids were getting taught math but not dance, and that kids were being taught from the shoulders up and mostly towards one side of the head (probably implying that creativity side of the head was being ignored)

Default George Carlin video

Here is a video of George Carlin (when he was alive) giving his opinion on education in the U.S. It's about 5 minutes, maybe longer if your computer is slow.
It has plenty of swear words like most of Carlin's comedy acts, but he was an amazing brave social commentary comedian that makes me laugh.
I first viewed this video on “Facebook” with the 'War is a Racket' group. But I don't know if many of you are on Facebook so I've found this clip also at 'youtube'

Best Regards, Gil.

An interesting talk that was posted by JLG on 'A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss.

It's been posted before but who knows where?
