George Carlin on Germs

Actually, he's right. There is compelling evidence that recent rise in autoimmune disorders is caused by living in an excessively antiseptic society.

When your immune system has nothing to fight, it apparently turns on the body.

Also, all these antibacterial products are creating super bugs, not to mention are worthless.

The funniest thing? The antibacterial product craze started with the AIDS epidemic and resulting hysteria... and not one of them protects you from AIDs.

I remember reading something about how kids today don't play in the dirt they way we used to,
that doing so helped create a much tougher immune system. Kids today don't play king of the
hill, they play too many video games.
