By laughing, it helps take our power back.

In an odd way, my parents were proud of me. When they saw me do stand-up, I'd see them looking around the room and watch them taking in the people laughing. On some level, that comforted them.

Commit a little bit more to the world outside of your own life. Get people talking.

I suppose the difference between baby people and me is that I do not consider smiling while farting 'holding up your end of a conversation.

Unless you can point to something that I have done or said that has changed the course of the public opinion in a negative way, you've got to check yourself sometimes and say, "Maybe I don't like the way that this thing is said, but it's expanding tolerance." If I said something that was shutting down something that was positive, call me out, but I don't really see me doing that.

If you want to effect change, start small.

The fact is, there's no such thing as "The Age of Abstinence."
