George Carlin: A Four-Letter Threat to Authority, by Butler Shaffer, 24 Jun 2008
A tribute to George Carlin (and Lenny Bruce) on their irreverent attitude towards authority and Carlin as a "standup philosopher"
"To most people, Bruce and Carlin were nothing more than dealers in four-letter words; men who loved to shock the sensibilities of others. But there was a deeper meaning in their humor, and modern libertarian thinking would not have been possible without their important groundwork. Each man understood, at least implicitly, that the authority some men presume to exercise over the lives of others depends upon the subjugated regarding their managers with an unquestioning reverence and awe." |
