More from George Carlin
"I'm not a misanthrope. I'm a misanthrope-in-training. I'm working on it. I'm getting there."
"If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?"
"I'm not a prophet. I'm just a guy who sees the future."
"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 savior. I'm just a guy who's trying to help people."
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.
