15. "We Are a Warlike People"
I honestly believe that, a thousand years from now,
Carlin will quite properly be regarded as one of the
most brilliantly insightful PHILOSOPHERS of our era.

Because he -IS-.

We all know what a "fable" is...and that word is inextricably
tied to a fellow named Aesop.
In his day, Aesop was just a clever SLAVE with a knack for
telling memorable stories. But he touched upon many TRUTHS
with his stories, and we all know his name today.

CARLIN will one day stand alongside him in the Pantheon of Greats.

HUMOR is TRUTH, only FASTER.
