His DVD &#8216;Relentless&#8217; is his best I think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>#1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so sick of arming the world, then sending troops          over to destroy the fucking arms, you know what I mean? We          keep arming these little countries, then we go and blow the          shit out of them. We&#8217;re like the bullies of the world,          y&#8217;know. We&#8217;re like Jack Palance in the movie Shane, throwing          the pistol at the sheepherder&#8217;s feet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pick it up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t wanna pick it up, Mister, you&#8217;ll shoot me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pick up the gun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mister, I don&#8217;t want no trouble. I just came downtown          here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham          for my wife. I don&#8217;t even know what gingham is, but she goes          through about ten rolls a week of that stuff. I ain&#8217;t          looking for no trouble, Mister.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pick up the gun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(He picks it up. Three shots ring out.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You all saw him &#8211; he had a gun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>#2<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t believe drugs have done good things for us,          then go home and burn all your records, all your tapes, and          all your CDs because every one of those artists who have          made brilliant music and enhanced your lives?          RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAL fucking high on drugs. The Beatles          were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few songs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>#3<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know          that? I don&#8217;t know one child with a full time job and          children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>#4<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are the facilitators of our own creative          evolution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span>#5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about          pornography and smoking and everything else. What business          is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I          fuck, what I take into my body &#8211; as long as I do not harm          another human being on this planet?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Bill Hick<\/p>\n<p>R.I.P 1961 &#8211; 1994<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/heatherskowoodjewelry.userblogs.ganoksin.coms\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/27d30_5326730885121730789-1727418377316578318?l=heatherskowoodjewelry.blogspot.com\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/~ff\/heathermskowoodcontemporaryjewelry?a=eXdjkXYp2dE:h020_bqHVrU:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/heatherskowoodjewelry.userblogs.ganoksin.coms\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/162d0_heathermskowoodcontemporaryjewelry?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/~ff\/heathermskowoodcontemporaryjewelry?a=eXdjkXYp2dE:h020_bqHVrU:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/heatherskowoodjewelry.userblogs.ganoksin.coms\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/162d0_heathermskowoodcontemporaryjewelry?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/heatherskowoodjewelry.userblogs.ganoksin.coms\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/162d0_eXdjkXYp2dE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p># 12 Comedian Bill Hicks When I get too overwhelmed by this sad + beautiful world I sit down and watch my collection of Bill Hicks shows on DVD to put it all back in perspective.
