Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.

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.
