That's why Carlin was a comedian and not an incendiary.

When a wealthy famous celebrity pretends he's not a part
of "the club," (i.e. the owners of America), all you can do
is laugh. It's an ironic version of the liar's paradox. Those
rich wealthy bastards don't care about you, says the rich
wealth bastard. Yeah, and he does.

One of the biggest and wealthiest busines interests in
America is the entertainment industry, of which Carlin
is a part. Now, if he were talking specifically about his
own industry, when he says they don't have an interest
in well-educated masses who are capable of critical
thinking, I would say he is right. After all, the dumber
the masses are, the easier their jobs are. Hell, if
people were too capable of critical thinking, they'd
see through his own lame-ass sentimentality as well,
and he might have to actually get some inspiration
for a change, instead of heaping up this simple-minded
pap for the uncritical.

Well, in my opinion, it's a good thing comedians don't burn
people at the stake. Is that what you meant? Or are you
referring to just your basic everyday Greenola arson, burning
SUVs or "McMansions" that dare to be built along their
bicycling route?

Some say the dissidents will burn with fire,
Some say they'll just be put on ice.

Supposin' a seeker gits pushed too far?

I don't see Carlin as being part of any club. He wasn't the type.
