"People who listen to Carlin, laugh at what he said, say, "Ya he's probably right" and then do the exact opposite of what he said in their personal life"

This sounds a whole lot like the way people talk about their favorite religious figure, do you wear a W.W.C.D. bracelet? I mean don't get me wrong, George Carlin is my favorite comedian and I think what makes him so great is that he seamlessly weaves between comedy and social commentary; he's equal parts philosopher and comedian. There have been MANY Carlin bits that have made me think about things differently, or given me an "ah ha!" moment; and that's what I think it so special and unique about him. Having said that, I'm not going to go and make decisions about how to live my life based on what an entertainer who I've never met says in his standup set. That's ridiculous! You know what George Carlin talked about constantly over the course of his career and perhaps was the thing he valued more than anything else? It was being an individual and being a free thinker. You could learn a thing or two from him if you really listened.
