Hicks was a Legend. Nobody show the guys above the goatboy sketches... they'll be tears before bedtime... FOR!!!!
The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

This is one of my favorite Bill Hicks quotes, from his letter to John Lahr shortly after the incedent:
"This is what I think CBS, the producers of the Letterman show, the networks and governments fear the most - that one man free, expressing his own thoughts and point of view, might somehow inspire others to think for themselves and listen to that voice of reason inside them, and then perhaps, one by one we will awaken from this dream of lies and illusions that the world, the governments and their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, feeds us continuously over 52 channels, 24 hours a day. "What I realised was that they don't want the people to be awake. The elite ruling class wants us asleep so we'll remain a docile, apathetic herd of passive consumers and non-participants in the true agendas of our governments, which is to keep us separate and present an image of a world filled with unresolvable problems, that they, and only they, might somewhere, in the never-arriving future, may be able to solve. Just stay asleep, America. Keep watching television. Keep paying attention to the infinite witnesses of illusion we provide you over 'Lucifer's Dream Box'." |

Bill Hicks was a comic genius. When he got sick, Dennis Leary stole his act.
Those in the know from the early 90's remember it well and don't think much of Leary.

the saddest are, "It might have been" ..........John Greenleaf Whittier |

Those from the planet not clueless don't think so much of Leary...
