There is a great article by George Carlin on the blog
http://liveto100.blogspot.com

Carlin is a funny guy and I have always enjoyed his humor...I guess
because I am from his generation.  This article really hits home on
some of the countries problems...and it's funny too.

Scroll down until you see the article "Are you a bad American" or
something like that

George Carlin & Ted Nugent & Rush Limbaugh ALL wrote the same thing?

Hard to believe.

Ted says he didn't write it, although, considering his attitudes on
various subjects, he might have. Instead, the coward who used his name
better hope he or she does not line up in the rifle, pistol, bow or
crossbow sights of either Ted OR his super wife!

Many people sucked up to it.

Actually, not.

Then surely you'll want to see what Carlin's own web site has to say on
the subject:

Before passing on such "urban legends" you might want to do a search
with www.snopes.com where you would have found that George Carlin
denies it's his work, as do a number of others to whom it has been
attributed over the past several years. In fact, some of those to whom
such things have been attributed a ticked off that people used their
names without their permission in order to post trash in email and on
the net.

Guess what!

I dont give a sh.t, one way or the other what George Carlin wrote or
thought at any point in time.
- Mainly because, when he came out with those "seven little words", he laid
the groundwork for my having to defend the right of Howard Stern to say
anything he wants to, while I believe he's the indicator of a sick society.

Only because he made them totally public. The words already existed
and were being used by nightclub comics long before then.  But I
totally agree that it opened the floodgates to what we have today. Not
only with the likes of Howard, but even among our kids who think it
totally acceptable to use foul language and do anything they want for
all occasions. You can't stop "progress" but sure wish it would slow
down just a little. At this rate, by next year we'll have to defend
the rights of NAMBLA to do their thing.
