George Carlin died yesterday.
The man spoke more truth than anyone.
It's hard to summarise the extent of his influence on society. It's now up to the rest of us to continue to fight the tyranny he spent his entire life exposing.
He will be missed.

Baby Bible Bashers
I can't be too sure how widely seen this disturbing documentary by award-winning director Amelia Hann is other than in the UK, but I can safely say it's not enough.
I wanted to write a blog entry on why raising a child as religious is child abuse, but upon remembering Baby Bible Bashers, aired in the UK a few months ago, I recalled how utterly shocking it was. Such a fantastically made documentary highlights the disgusting consequences of the belief system of such dogmatic and pious parents far more effectively than I can hope to.
The other day I heard a Christian child sitting behind me on the bus asking his mother what would happen to his Muslim friend when he dies, the mother answered with a predictably self-righteous "He'll go to hell". This documentary highlights why religion should never be drilled into children at such an intellectually naive and easily susceptible age. Watch it.
