George Carlin died on June 22 of this year, 2008. He had a long and very fruitful career as a stand-up comedian. Say what you will about him, love him or hate him for the things he said; but he always made us think, he always made us question, if only for a minute, the things that we take for granted, the things we assume are true. He made us think and really look at what goes on in the world around us. This is why I think George Carlin is one of the greatest philosophers of our time, like Socrates, he asked us the questions and lets us answer them. Unlike Socrates, Carlin always let us know how he felt on the issues. Agree with him or not, he was a man that stood by what he believed.
