George Carlin:
The greatest arrongance of all: Save the planet

What? Are these fuckin' people kidding me? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We gotta learn how to care for one another, we're gonna save the fuckin' planet? There is nothing wrong with the planet

Nothing wrong with the planet

The planet is fine

The people are fucked

Naghmeh Zand:
What the artist in his monologue is trying to say is that there is no possible way for a group of individuals, in this case people, descibing human kind, to avoid or escape a given situation, here, death or extinction. He sums it up by using a four letter word, which, after all, gives the statement much more clarity and impact because, let's face it, the people are fucked

George Carlin:
The planet has been through a lot worse than us

…been though earthquakes, volcanos, plate techtonics, continental drifts, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages and we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere
We are
Pack your shit folks
And we won't leave much of a trace either. Thank god for that
The planet will be here and we'll be long gone
Just another failed mutation
Just another closed end biological mistake
An evolutionary col de sac
