I've never seen Bill Hicks.

That's helpful

'50% of something is better than 100% of nothing.'

Not in this case.

Q1: B

Q2: A

Q3: B C

Q4: B

Q5: Scumbag, lying politicians having as much control as ever, f**king people over on a daily basis and going to war whenever it suits them. The invasion of Afghanistan & Iraq, and the use of patriotism to get people behind it. The fetishism by politicians and the mass media towards the military. The continued dumbing down of mainstream media. "Talent Shows". Fox News. The continued onslaught of mass marketing. An increase in religious fundamentalism in all its forms. Smoking bans. Another Democrat getting elected to the White House and doing very little once getting there. The Tea Party. Police brutality, especially towards peaceful demonstrators such as Occupy Wall Street. Sex & the City. Bankers destroying the economy and ordinary people suffering because of it. The IMF. The WTO. The treatment of Bradley Manning. Guantanamo Bay.

I reckon Bill would be pissed off about all the above. However, due to amount of porn available on the internet, I don't reckon he would actually get much work done.
