"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
"Political correctness cripples discourse, creates ugly language and is generally stupid."
"I like it when a building burns down. I like to see the fire. I like to see the smoke. I like to see the destruction. I like to see the chaos."
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.
