This was in 1992. I like how George's example, that we only help one another after a flood, no longer even applies in the US, as you have people arguing some people from some places shouldn't be helped even after a natural disaster.

What is your take on Bill Hicks?

I would have been interested to know their opinion on what they consider true wisdom, but the thinly veiled ad hominem in their response then made me lose that interest.

Few comedians rise to the level of philosophers and notable social commentators, but I'd count Bill Hicks among them.
