I dont think he said the land should be taken away from the owners, he just expressed (hilarious) dissatisfaction with how the owners of the land choose to use it (by turning it into golf courses). I happen to agree with him. I think golf courses are a huge waste of space, but of course I respect the owners' right to do whatever they wish with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776375569387669394.post-1974315687880883972010-01-14T21:54:18.697-05:002010-01-14T21:54:18.697-05:00There is no doubt that the elegance spreads natura...There is no doubt that the elegance spreads naturally when you carry this <a href="http://www.gucciworlds.com" rel="nofollow">gucci shop</a> large hobo bag.Classic at it may seem,this still managed to exude modernity with its high-shine finish that would as well bring you an edge.Along with the <a href="http://www.gucciworlds.com/gucci-kitbags-c-3_49.html" rel="nofollow">Gucci Kitbags</a> by this renowed designer,are actually reasonable price tags.<br /><a href="http://www.gucciworlds.com" rel="nofollow">sale gucci shoes</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776375569387669394.post-52714698147498438202010-01-14T19:33:33.116-05:002010-01-14T19:33:33.116-05:00I loved Carlin!

He must of known about the FED because some of his quotes were, "the game is rigged", and "it's a big club and you ain't in it". Seems as if he was trying to convey his " CAUTION !!" message to his audience.<br /><br />http://coolcatplay.blogspot.com/2008/06/george-carlin-game-is-rigged-in-3.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776375569387669394.post-76524919804545877882010-01-14T15:15:17.281-05:002010-01-14T15:15:17.281-05:00Anon, fair enough.

I was more of a "conservative" than a libertarian when I grew up watching Carlin, so maybe I conflated hostility to business with hostility to capitalism. I will reserve judgment before repeating this claim, though I do distinctly remember him criticizing golfers as buffoons when all that land could be used to build houses for homeless people.Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776375569387669394.post-66216920437100466682010-01-14T14:29:36.667-05:002010-01-14T14:29:36.667-05:00As an avid Carlin fan, I can't say I've ev...As an avid Carlin fan, I can't say I've ever heard him say anything explicitly anti-capitalist. He was anti-Big Business, for sure, but that doesn't imply that he hated capitalism. Besides, for every time he bashed Big Business, he also bashed politicians. His bit on how he hates voting is hilarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776375569387669394.post-47652023701702736812010-01-14T10:34:17.880-05:002010-01-14T10:34:17.880-05:00Good stuff Bob.
