Too late.

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.
