Hunter S. is a voice we could surely use right now. So sad for
all of us that he's gone. But we won't let those rat *******s
close in on us!

"A voice we could surely use right now???

For what?



I'm not sad he's gone. If you look at his history of life and writing,
Hunter was basicly echoing the same chords of Timothy Leary, that
nothing matters, and everything in life is a joke...party on!

???

You're completely and totally wrong. Not only did Hunter S. Thompson
have *nothing* in common with Leary's public statements, neither person
ever gave the message "that nothing matters, and everything in life is a
joke...party on!"

About the only thing the two men had in common was public admission of
recreational drug use. I suppose that's close enough, if you're a moron
and/or really have a deep emotional need to hate everybody you disagree
with.

sure they did....


and both were acid freaks

Pardon me....

It almost looks like you are disagreeing with me and calling me a
"moron" right in accordance with your own words there....

hmmmmm

No I don't "hate" (man! tat sounds bigoted...LOL!) Thompson. I have
no need to.

I'm just amazed at how people wish to immortalize him as if he was some
type of political sage....

In that case, why do you attribute to him evil saying that he didn't say?

Now I agree with you there. He was not a sage. Just a writer with
unusual perceptions and the ability to communicate them. IMHO Hunter
Thompson was kind of a sad sack, although I thought his writing was
often pretty funny.

did you see anything in my text about "hate"?

Nah, I didn't think so.

don't be so defensive.

Sure. It's pretty obvious that you don't know much about HS Thompson,
never read much of his writing, and yet because you disagree with what
you think he said, you have to try and attribute bad things to him.

It's a perfect example of the 'fear & loathing' principle in action...
and this is something that Thompson *did* actually write about.

Nah, I didn't think so.

don't be so defensive.


I'm defensive?? I'm just trying to clear up a bit of confusion on your
part... not that I expect any thanks...
