"The word bipartisan usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out."
"Don't just teach your children to read. Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything."
"I'm not a prophet. I'm just a guy who sees the future."
"I'm not a guru. I'm a guy who's trying to figure things out, just like you."
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.
