Yes, but George also pointed out the house of cards we all stand on and how fragile it is . . .

He was the antidote for all the 'feel good' indoctrination we are all subjected to suffer. As with any effective medication, this antidote was a painful cure for many. My religion-minded friends and family members hated him. He was, therefore, one of my heroes!

Carlin was fearless and straight out upfront about his views. A personal hero of mine.

he speaks my mind, & i just regret never to have met him.

I don't know about that but... I definitely have prized possessions, within my general piles of stuff, whereas everyone else's stuff is just shit.
