"The owners of this country know the truth: it's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
"Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are stupider than that."
"I'm not a terrorist. I just want to blow things up."
"I'm not a shrink. I'm just a guy who likes to listen."
"I think I've found the one thing in life that I'm really good at, and that's being a loudmouth."
About George Carlin (1937-2008)
American stand-up comedian whose 'Seven Words You Can't Say on Television' (1972) reached the Supreme Court and reshaped US obscenity law. Closely associated with Richard Pryor (countercultural-comedy peer) and Lenny Bruce (predecessor in obscenity-law fights). For an intellectual contrast, see Tipper Gore, co-founder of the Parents Music Resource Center — the PMRC's 1985 Senate hearings on 'explicit' content labeling are exactly the cultural-establishment force Carlin's free-speech comedy was organized against.
