Why Comedians?

I enjoy Comedy Central's Stewart show with my son; The Daily Show. Jon does the job I feel I failed to do. I may be a bit burned out. In 1968 some of my buddies either died as a result of their actions in those heady days, or were harmed much more than I was. I turned to science not politics, I may have given the wrong impression to my children.

Jon Stewart is not a politician either, but he really worked hard to have that rally in Washington this past Saturday.

People from my generation may feel like this. The problems facing us are hard, and getting harder. Looking back, I can see that we were warned, business as usual won't do.

I have the opinion that understanding is needed to face these challenges.

The laws of Physics, Chemistry or Biology cannot be repelled, or changed. As sure as the Sun will rise, moments of reckoning are with us, and will keep retuning.

Good Job Colbert, and Stewart.

Kids, hit the books, learn more basic science, that is our only chance to pull this through.

Why comedians? Because they always have been telling us the truths we do not want to face, or utter.

Money does not talk, it swears.
