Rant away, Mr. Carlin

...wherever you are now -- because through your rants, we recognized the hypocrisy of the world around us.
Comedian George Carlin, a 'footnote in American legal history' is dead. He died on Sunday at age 71.
It was announced just last week that later this year he would be the 11th persona inducted into the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ pantheon of humor and receive this year’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. (Mr. Carlin thanked the prize’s namesake and instructed Mr. Twain to “have your people call my people.” :))

Enjoy this earlier post with a great Carlin rant on religion and also many other Carlin videos on youtube.
