We've lost ground

I'm watching a program on PBS (it's 9:00PM here by the way) called "Make 'Em Laugh," a documentary on comedy. They showed George Carlin doing his "classic" routine, "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television." They bleeped him. Public Fucking Television bleeped his mortifying ass.

We've lost ground; America is backing up. This is not where I imagined, in the 60s, I'd be at the age of 57. This isn't the America I wanted. We've backed up. We're cringing behind some wall, afraid to speak the truth. The truth always offends somebody, so I guess we're all going to smile and lie our asses off.
