Wonderful, my hero. Funny that he titled it Last Words.

For those youngsters that like cursing without going to jail, here is the link to a ton of amazing Carlin videos:

A must for any critical thinker.

9. So. Anybody who is dead who wrote anything now,

"speaks from the grave".
My favorite recent Carlin quote was "people who are against abortion only want live babies to grow up to be dead soldiers."
Good one.
"Religion is just mind control". I like that.
Oh, when the people come up and say "jeezus luvs you." he responds to them "god hates you".
Ha, another good one.
