I remember Carlin doing a bit about being pro abortion, and pro death penalty, but it had nothing to do with cars and traffic. He just did a whole bit where they turn 4 states into prisons that have a live pay per view feed of death fights, so you can watch people die without leaving your couch. He also was in support of legalized betting on these fights.
He would have loved draft kings.

He was the best :) (Even better that people still misunderstand his humor)
I'm glad the Adjuster finally came through on that first joke Carlin made. It just took a few decades.
The crazy part is, that's not even the clip I was thinking about either, but STILL covers a lot of the same topics. So I can see why you'd think I was talking about that one.
He had a lot of takes on these issues

Sorry... I am a bit of a Carlin fan
Hey! Whoa! Not cool! That's so offensive!!!
.....and by that, I mean you should never appologize for being a Carlin fan!
I feel like if George Carlin offended you, you most likely deserved it and should really rethink life.
Found the guy who didn't read the full post.
I read the full post. I was agreeing with you...
