40. “When evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.”

GEORGE CARLIN DID NOT say this.

“When evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.”

This is another quotation I see on-line from time to time, but I can’t find it on any of Carlin’s albums or HBO specials, nor in any of his books. There is however a spoken word album by Jello Biafra titled “If Evolution Is Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Evolve”, recorded in 1996 and released in 1998. My guess is the quote is just a corruption of that title.
