You know, we were all brought up to believe

that everyone should have a right to their own opinion.

If your sister lived across the way from me,

and I see ten guys coming out her apartment,

She can be a language instructor, ballet instructor;

but if you give everybody a right to their own opinion,

Because, I remember the beginning of the space program.

Somebody said, "You wouldn't see man on the moon for a thousand years."

"I don't know enough about rocketry, I don't know anything about space travel,

Learning how to say "I don't know" is the most difficult thing.

Just ask any congressman, "How would you stop automobiles from hitting each other?"

"How can you increase the agricultural yield so everyone can eat?"

A hundred years ago politics was alright, not that good.

Everything that you have: your radio, your television, your airplanes, your transportation;

If it wasn't for technology you'd be pulling boats along the Volga river.

It's technology that moves things forward.

Lighting, transportation, tunnels under the ground bringing water to you.

If you turned off all the dams, all the refrigerators,

all the food in all the refrigerators would spoil immediately.

Now people say, "Well, the trouble with you Jacque,

is you want to give people things for nothing."

Let me tell you a little bit about "things for nothing."

Just being born in any technical country today,

you got the lights, the telephone, the washing machine, air transportation;

You got it for nothing, just being born here.

The only trouble is businessmen want things for nothing,

without putting out anything, for nothing.

So you have a society that's a predatory society.

If you get your car banged up, somebody makes money fixing it.

the dentist makes a thousand five hundred for a root canal job.

So everybody makes money on every form of misery.

Now, when a doctor says, "Your kidney has to come out,"

is he trying to pay off a new car or does your kidney have to come out?

So, they use the word "trust." Really there's no such thing.

Everybody signs contracts 'cause they don't trust each other.

Then you got the religious people, another interesting group.

They really believe there's a guy up in the clouds that made the man and the woman,

He kicked them out of this beautiful garden and then

he looks down at the earth and he doesn't like the way things are going,

so he creates bubonic plague that kills half of the earth's population.

And if you don't follow his teachings, you burn eternally.

a jerk that gets angry, creates floods; that isn't god,

that's a man made attempt at trying to evaluate how all this came about.

When you look up to the clouds, say "I don't know how it came..."

"Jacque, you want to try to make the world a better place."

I said, "It isn't me that wants to make the world a better place. The world is falling apart."

"Well, my kingdom is up there," the guy said.

And I said, "You forgot the Lord's prayer,

it says «thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven»"

There's no business up there, no private ownership, no money,

and that's what Jesus said, I didn't say that.

So, the religious guy doesn't even know what the hell he's reading.

The Jews were crossing the Red Sea and Moses lifted up his staff and the sea parted,

God could have put them on the other side without the sea parting.

Angels have wings; if they flew around without wings,

Man is so stupid, he doesn't even know how to create a god.

Their god is as dumb as they are.                          [ Laughter ]
