Bill HicksBill Hicks Go back to bed America, your government is in control again. Go back to bed America… you are free to do as we tell you… you are free to do as we tell you.
Bill HicksBill Hicks I love talking about the Kennedy assasination. The reason I do is because I’m fascinated by it. I’m fascinated that our government could lie to us so blatantly, so obviously for so long, and we do absolutely nothing about it. I think that’s interesting in what is ostensibly a democracy.

Bill HicksBill Hicks We’re supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?
Bill HicksBill Hicks …love rather than fear…this radical philosophy is coming from me, an avowed misanthrope…surely there is hope for us all.
Bill HicksBill Hicks I began working quite young, writing, growing, maturing, always striving to top myself – to make people laugh hard at things they know and believe deep in their hearts to be true.
Bill HicksBill Hicks I believe that God left certain drugs growing naturally upon our planet to help speed up and facilitate our evolution. OK, not the most popular idea ever expressed. Either that or you’re all real high and agreeing with me in the only way you can right now. (Starts blinking)
Bill HicksBill Hicks I’ve had good times on drugs…bad times on drugs…But I’ve had good and bad relationships…and I’m not giving up pussy.

More on abortion
Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.
Alice PaulAlice Paul By now, abortion should be obsolete. And I – and probably a lot of other feminists – wish it were obsolete, because abortion, in itself, is not a value – it is simply the right to chose, which is an essential value.
Betty FriedanBetty Friedan I was a woman before I was an abolitionist. I must speak for the women.
Lucy StoneLucy Stone Abortion has become a very politicised issue that I think countries have to work out themselves. In a lot of countries, people can’t even yet agree on what their laws should be.
Melinda GatesMelinda Gates I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions. We should not spend state funds on abortions because so many people believe abortion is wrong.
Bill ClintonBill Clinton There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda.
Mitt RomneyMitt Romney I’ll put an end to the idea that a woman’s body belongs to her. Nazi ideals demand that the practice of abortion shall be exterminated with a strong hand.
Adolf HitlerAdolf Hitler Global warming is a political issue. It is as much a political issue to the left as abortion is. It’s as big a political issue as health care is.
