More from George Carlin
"I don't have a problem with drugs. I have a problem with people who have a problem with drugs."
"When it comes to bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion..."
"I don’t have pet peeves; I have major psychotic fucking hatreds."
"I'm not a misanthrope. I'm a misanthrope-in-training. I'm working on it. I'm getting there."
"I'm not a fan of organized sports. I think it's a bunch of people running around in circles, chasing a ball, and then someone wins and someone loses, and then everyone goes home."
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.
