The owners of this country... the real owners. The big weathly business interests.... You have not choice. You have owners."

1. I am a puddle of tears. Carlin will NEVER be replaced.
We have lost a voice. I am going on a binge. Sadness, true sadness...

4. Carlin died?
Oh no! No! Truly the standard by which all stand-up is judged, for me anyway. I have heard after the death of his daughter he was never really the same. Who would be? Shit!

10. No need to be sorry. Sorry if I came off angry.
Just that I had found out a hero of mine had died. He truly was our modern bard, wielding words with far greater effect that any weapon. He did become embittered. But most people who are given the curse of being able to see 'underneath the hood' suffer from that affliction.

That tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, around the world mourn him is a tribute to his greatness. Glad I just got my hands on his 'All My Stuff' compilation.

He will be greatly missed.

2. Sometimes I think Carlin was wound up too tight for his own good.
If he was like this all the time it's no wonder his heart gave out.

3. Truer words were never spoken.
This is why I can't get excited over this election. I keep feeling it's all rigged anyway.

6. I'm with you. I think we should start a George Carlin revolution. Listen to him enough
and you start getting that Howard Beale "I'm mad as hell and I won't take it anymore" feeling.

Rigged

11. Carlin owned the owners... a great intellect, social critic and comedian lost.
He actually spoke truth to power- and knew what he was talking about. too rare these days.
