George Carlin

George Carlin is seen as one of the greatest comedians during the 20th century. He is best known for his "words you cannot say", but a lot of his act was about the failure of politics, big government, and people who don't care about others. Sadly, when listening to some of his earlier works, you will notice that what he said then is still in effect now. The human condition has changed very little over the past 40 years and probably will not change due to humans being incredibly stubborn and selfish.
