Yesterday was Bill Hicks' Birthday

The great comic and social commentator. He had lots of stuff to say. He was vehemently opposed to the War on Drugs, and I liked this bit:

"Wouldn't you like to see a positive LSD story on the news? To hear what it's all about, perhaps? Wouldn't that be interesting? Just for once?

"'Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration — that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.'"

Oh, not that I'm pro-drug. Just pro-honesty.

If you don't know him, it's worth finding out. If you do, give him a thought, or a laugh.
