Ponderings of the Smartest Monkey

I arrived home from work to find that George Carlin had passed away.  I remember being shocked (as was the rest of America) upon hearing the Seven Words You Can't Say on Television.  Shocked, yes, but even then I knew he was making history.  He was a believer in freedoms-our freedoms, and for that I thank him.   I loved his stand-up routines and I loved him in the movie Dogma.  I loved the irony in that role.

Now he is gone, and life is a little less funny today.

  It truly is sad to lose someone who really tapped into the "FREEDOM OF SPEECH", unlike anyone else ever has.  What was amazing is listening to his thinking and realizing how full of truth it is.   He had a wonderful way of showing the hypocrisy of our culture.  He will be truly missed!
