Your daily dose of Carlinism

"Every Child Is Special: an empty and meaningless sentiment. What about every adult? Isn't every adult special? And if not, then at what age does a person go from being special to being not-so-special? And if every adult is also special, then that means all people are special and the idea has no meaning. This embarrassing sentiment is usually advanced to further some position that is either political or fund-raising in nature. It's similar to 'children are our future.' It's completely meaningless and is probably being used in some self-serving way." -- George Carlin
