Wissenswertes
The comment George made about the government thinking of banning toy guns (and keeping the real ones) was because at the time of the special, the federal government was debating such a move based on incidents where children were killed by police when they mistook certain toy guns, like the Entertech water guns (which were promoted as looking, feeling, and sounding like their real counterparts) and the Laser Tag blasters, as real guns, and also in the case of the Entertech guns, being used when actual crimes were committed. While a ban never happened, all toy guns in America started to be manufactured with different colors that were supposed to easily differentiate them from real firearms.

Zitate
[about conservative politicians]
George Carlin: These people call themselves "right to lifers." Don't you love that phrase? And don't you love the way these kind of people pervert the English language? You realize that most of the right-to-lifers are in favor of the DEATH penalty? And they support the South American DEATH squads. And they're against gun control and they're against nuclear weapons control. When they say "right to life," they're talking about THEIR right to decide which people should live or die.
[applause]

Politics comes in

George Carlin starts to show signs of political humor here in this special shot in New Jersey's Union theater. I liked it because of that and his bits. Here, he brings politics into view with Ronald Reagan and his criminal gang, things to keep people alert with, people I can do without, and Cars and driving pt. 2 (continued from Carlin on Campus). I really enjoyed his bit on Cars and driving being a New Jerseyan and that here, he starts to show signs of anger brewing from his past (usually, Carlin just does bits on things we don't notice and stuff). Funny stuff, but not quite fully dandy. A+
