George Carlin Quote on Rights vs. Privileges in 2008 Comedy Special “It’s Bad for Ya!”

“Rights aren’t rights if they can be taken away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country: A bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news, even badly you know that the list gets shorter and shorter”
