I had been expecting this post since the beginning of the series. Today was an unusually busy and tiresome day and I am getting late home and still doing some hosuechores,but I have to comment on this one.
I am glad to know some of the details of Carlin's personal life. I did not know about his court martials. It is good to knwo that he was a coherent/consistent irreverent from the beginning.
Authority, especially of the military kind, especially in latin america is something I have strong opinions about and I think noone should respect a uniform body unless they earn that respect and given the shared corrupt and authoritarian mentality in the military, it is hard for any of them to inspire anything but disgust and mockery.

I knew the old Carlin, which I think is the best. I even liked his distinctive coarse voice. I think he was a very smart guy with a complex sense of humor and very compeling ideas about politics, race, religion, gender, and education.
I think that the pragmatism that characterizes most humorists is actually what the rest of the world needs.
Most never-ending issues end up being that because no practical solution is even met whenever you pay too much attention to sensitivities and melodrama. Justice is a very practical value but it has been travestied into something that has become the source of standup comedy and comedy in general.
Thank you so much for this post and for sharing some of his last material. Priceless.
Society needs irreverent smart people to take front stage. Societies need to listen to humorist more attentively and probably laugh less. Most of the time what they say is serious as hell.
PS. One of my favorite Carlin's sketch is any of the ones he devoted to religion and to people who deserve to be killed
