More from George Carlin
"I'm a pessimist. I'm really good at it. I've been practicing for a long time."
"I have a lot of problems with 'the system.' But you know what I do when I encounter a system I can't handle? I don't try to change it. I don't complain about it. I just find a way to get around it."
"The government is not your friend. The government is not your enemy. The government is your government."
"I'm not a narcissist. I just think I'm better than everyone else."
"The government is lying to you. They always have been. They always will be. And you're still falling for it."
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.
