Bill Hicks is my new favorite

I loved Jillian's presentation on Bill Hicks. I admit that I had never heard of him before this presentation for which I say shame on me. Here is a man who is using his gifts (yes, I do consider cleverness, humor and a filthy mouth as a gift) to make people think. He makes people laugh before they stop for a minute and say, "hey, was I supposed to laugh at that, it's kindof tragically true." I think that this was his mission. He was cynical and dry, but there was a passion in him that I can respect. I don't agree with him in all of his humor and some of it definitely made me look around to see if anyone else could hear what he was saying, but if this man is the only education that someone gets about the dire straits of the world... I say we need more people like him. Jillian, you did a wonderful job presenting to the class and I appreciate that this man is your hero (although on some level that fact is scary.)
