More from George Carlin
"If you're born in this country, you're born into a system that's designed to keep you down. And they don't even hide it anymore. They're proud of it!"
"I'm not a nihilist. I'm just a person who doesn't believe in anything."
"The owners of this country know the truth: it's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
"The government is lying to you. They always have been. They always will be. And you're still falling for it."
"I don't have any solutions, but I certainly admire the problem."
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.
