The Illusion Of Choice

George Carlin  “I’m not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions. I don’t just roll over when I’m told to. Sad to say most Americans just roll over on command. Not me I have certain rules I live by. My first rule I don’t believe anything the government tells me. Nothing. Zero. No and I don’t take very seriously the media or the press in this country who in the case of the Persian Gulf War were nothing more than unpaid employees of the Department of Defence and who most of the time, most of the time, function as kind of an unofficial public relations agency for the United States government. So I don’t listen to them. I don’t really believe in my country and I got to tell you folks I don’t get all choked up about yellow ribbons and American flags.”
