yeah, just like the any other planet, if You insist on assuming that approach, You son of a silly person.
There is a point in that approach, a positive one, too, the point being that all the men of all ages, sexes, skin colors, religions and shoe sizes will finally find peace and be brothers with each other, in the grave.

The fact that George Carlin said it doesn't make it accurate. I'm really familiar with the routine, but the amount that his routines are used to form opinions and make points makes it hard to accept something as satirical just because they're quoting Carlin.

EVENTUALLY it's no use thinking about conserving anything, since in the end, inertia will see EVERYTHING perish in the heat death. And all is good again, nothing to complain.
Meanwhile, I choose to be a dirty hippie in daily life while preaching the gospel of what will EVENTUALLY come.
