These Taboos We Have

Posted by Raven on June 23rd, 2008

George Carlin:

“The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things — bad language and whatever — it’s all caused by one basic thing, and that is: religious superstition,” “There’s an idea that the human body is somehow evil and bad and there are parts of it that are especially evil and bad, and we should be ashamed. Fear, guilt and shame are built into the attitude toward sex and the body. … It’s reflected in these prohibitions and these taboos that we have.”

I totally agree. I’m going to miss George’s salty mouth and real-person, real life mannerisms. Of all the Hollywood glitters bits, George was one of the few who had the balls to stand up, stray from the fake and phoney shit, and lay life on the table as it really is.

Bruce posted a YouTube that is classic Carlin.




As he says, I miss the cantankerous, old bastard already.
