More from George Carlin
"I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."
"I don't believe in heaven. I don't believe in hell. I don't believe in an afterlife. I believe in this life. And I believe in making the most of it."
"I'm not a misanthrope. I'm a misanthrope-in-training. I'm working on it. I'm getting there."
"I'm not a shrink. I'm just a guy who likes to listen."
"If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything."
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.
