This bit of treacle has been going all over the net the last few
days/weeks/months. I spent half an hour yesterday trying to track
down the author. It has been used in a number of religious sermons and
newsletters, but always attributed to "author unknown". I doubt very
much that it is by George Carlin; not his style at all. The piece is
apparently titled "The Paradox of Our Times". The earliest reference
I found to it was late 1998 so it probably hasn't been around too long.
Is there a web site specializing in tracking down the source of weedlike
memes like this?
