George Carlin — "Murder. The fifth commandment. But if you think about it...if you think about it…"

Murder. The fifth commandment. But if you think about it...if you think about it, religion has never really had a problem with murder. Not really. No, more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.

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.
