More from George Carlin
"Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are stupider than that."
"I don't believe in fate. I believe in choice. I believe in making your own choices, and living with the consequences."
"I'm not a fan of reality television. I think it's a bunch of people who are trying to be famous, and they're willing to do anything to get it."
"I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a conspiracy realist. I believe that there are people who are conspiring to do things, and I believe that those things are usually bad."
"I'm not an atheist. I'm an agnostic. I don't know if there's a God or not. And I don't care."
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.
