dropoutdave 0 #1 November 12, 2003 For those of ya that haven't heard any of Bill Hicks material...here's a one of his finest moments...to me it is more truthful and powerful than anything any politician has ever said. With all the political debates going on at the moment I thought I would just remind eveyone.....It's Just A Ride. "The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down and around and around, it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud...and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on this ride for a long time and they begin to question....is this real, or is this just a ride, and other people have remembered and they come back to us and they say 'hey, don't worry, dont be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.' And we, kill those people. It's just a ride but we kill those good guys who try and tell us that, have you ever noticed that and we let the demons run amock. But it does'nt matter because ITS JUST A RIDE and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice, no effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now....between fear and love. In the eyes of fear wants you to put bigger locks on your doors and buy guns and close yourself off, The eyes of love sees all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over NOT ONE HUMAN BEING EXCLUDED and we could explore space, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

LivingInClip 0 #5 November 12, 2003 Classic Bill Hick's quote. QuoteToday a young man on acid realized that all matter is mearly energy condensed through a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, life is only a dream and we are the imaginations of ourselves.

dropoutdave 0 #6 November 12, 2003 Yeah he died of pancreatic cancer, died about 4 weeks after finding out he had it. I would have loved to have known what he thought about Bush and Gulf War2. Best comedian that ever lived. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #7 November 12, 2003 QuoteTake all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, and we could explore space, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Unfortunately that is a fairy tale. If we were to do that, the terrorists and thugs of the world would stomp us into the dirt. They don't care how nice we are. They just want to kill us. Freedom isn't free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
