(53,475 posts)Sad that the only way to hear the truth about America Inc. is through comedians. It makes it all funny while the truth is that it is a tragic situation. That is about the only way to speak truth to power acceptably. George was so well informed about the truth of America, He was a genius comedian too bad people can't take this very real information (still coming from great comedians) and realize...things gotta change.

That wasn't really in mainstream use until the Occupy Movement years later.

(7,321 posts)Yes, Carlin really had an exceptional acumen in sharply defining the issues of Class and Race in this format. Appropriately harsh commentary in a hilariously funny delivery.
R.I.P. Carlin. And Thank you for all this and more.
