OK, I've written this out because I feel it's important to have George's words written down, so they can be passed around. Maybe it's because George thought exactly as I do about so many things, saw through all the crap, as Iknow others do too, but I really wanted to put his words down, so here they are, and boy, this man spoke so fast, that you'd not belive it! Took me ages to get each word, but just like the brilliant words in 'Anthem for Dissent' these words need passing around, so they're worth every moment it takes to put them down in print.

I hope you enjoy them......



George Carlin's 'American Dream'

"But there's a reason, there's a reason, there's a reason for this. There's a reason education sucks and it's the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you've got, because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big, wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year, lobbying, lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want, they want more for themselves and less for everybody else.

But I'll tell you what they don't want, they don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that, that doesn't help them. That's against their interests. That's right. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit round the kitchen table to figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don't want that.

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paper work, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they're coming for your social security money. They want your fucking retirement money, they want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it, they'll get it all from you sooner or later, 'cos they own this fucking place. It's a big club..and you ain't in it. You and I are NOT in the Big Club.

By the way, it's the same big club they beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe, All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks, the game is rigged and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.

Good, honest, hard working people, white collar, blue collar, it doesn't matter what colour shirt you have on, good, honest, hard working people continue, and these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock-suckers who don't give a fuck about them. They don't give a fuck about you, they don't give a fuck about you. They don't care about you at all, at all, at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.

That's what the owners count on, the fact that Americans will probably remain wilfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth, it's called The American Dream 'cos you have to be asleep to believe it."
