George Carlin

We were founded on a very basic double standard. This country was founded by slave owners who wanted to be free. Am I right? A group of slave owners who wanted to be free, so they killed a lot of white English people in order to continue owning their black African people, so they could wipe out the rest of the red Indian people and move west and steal the rest of the land from the brown Mexican people, giving them a place to take off and drop their nuclear weapons on the yellow Japanese people. You know what the motto of this country ought to be? You give us a color, we’ll wipe it out. - George Carlin

It bothers me that all the media remembers George Carlin for a few censored words when he said so much about so many topics. He was fed up with politics, religion and stupid people. As a youth, he quit school and joined the service and was court martialed repeatedly because George was anti-authoritarian and saw that most people in authority were self-serving and he had trouble with stupid orders. I will miss his ability to show the obvious human condition in a way that could make you laugh instead of cry. No sense saying some stupid platitude like "rest in peace" cause Mr. Carlin didn't buy that bullshit, so I will just say "good bye" and "thanks for stopping".
