The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when we choose to go on it we think it's real, because thats's how powerful our minds are. And it goes up and down and round and round, it has thrills and chills and its very brightly colored and very loud, and it's fun - for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time and after a while they begin to question: Is this real, or is it just a ride? But some people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say. "Hey, don't worry and don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride" - and we kill those people...

"Shut him up! Ive got a lot invested in this ride... Look at my furrows of worry... Look at my big bank account... Look at my family... This has to be real"

But it's just a ride.

But we always kill those good guys who try to tell us that and we let the demons run amok. But it doesnt matter, because it's just a ride - and we can change it any time we want.

All we need is the choice.

No effort, no work, no job, no savings or money - just a choice - right now - between fear & love.

The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns and and close yourself off, the eyes of love instead, see all of us as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world to a better ride right now. Take all the money we spend on weapons and defence each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded and we can explore space...

together...

both inner and outer...

forever...

...in peace.

- Bill Hicks (1961 - 1994 R.I.P.)

I miss ol' Bill...It took me a lifetime to learn what he summed up in only a few minutes on stage 20 years ago.

That was a really sweet post :) I would like to save rainforests from becoming extinct, but where do I even start with such an idea? Always loved nature parks. They were just so relaxing.

I love, therefore I can choose to be armed.

Best to be armed and never use them than not be armed and need them.

I would recommend that you study law until you know how to get the agreement of the major corporations involved in the active destruction of the rainforests that they have abandoned their obligation to care for the common environment in favour of unsustainable & unlawful depletion of it for private profit. After that, you can send them a bill that will either force the corporation into bankruptcy, have it's charter revoked, or buy you a controlling interest in it and allow you to work internally to change it's primary ethic from profit to sustainable development.





I think the old saying was that "It is better to have a gun & not need it than to need a gun and not have it."

There will always be loons running around who would hurt & kill innocent people. Considering that, guns will always be needed.
