Bill Hicks - It's Just A Ride

Bill Hicks was one of the funniest guys who ever lived in my opinion.

Not only was Bill funny but he also spoke out against the american government.

Quote: "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, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, not work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."

A few years after he said this speech Bill was suspiciously dead at the age of 34 from pancreatic cancer. (Pancreatic cancer can be caused from a large dose of radiation) I personally think the American government killed him.

RIP Bill. You will always be remembered.

It's a bloody expensive ride!

[AmericanCryer]

@lefrebure Yes, but without the master, we can all be free. Free to unlock our potential. Free to explore space together. Free to grow and prosper and have wealth for all. It's the controllers that hinder us. And our lack of willpower.

@Brigister I really like that story, thanks for that! Cheers!

What does Bill mean to you? You look up to him, love him, are perpetually enlightened from his words every time you hear them (1000 times, same stuff). What a f@cking hero. I got no more words. Love ya, Bill.
