I don't mean to be disrespectful of the recently departed...but I had never even heard of this guy...but I think that 'dumbness' is commiting suicide...I am sick and tired of the leftists referring to 'me' and my country as dumb just because we choose not to buy into and follow their ideas (and I use that term loosely).

"nationwide nervous breakdown" since 9/11,

I guess we did that after December 7, 1941 as well. We would have had to speak a new and excited language had we not have had that "breakdown".

You had NEVER heard of HST? Come on, do some reading, man.
He was a fantastic writer...very entertaining....although in tecent years the quality sufferred greatly. After he lost his first wife, everythng changed. I loved him in college & continue to enjoy his work.....he was an original.

He was a liberal drug pig who could occasionally spin a humorous paragraph or two.

By and large, his writing was boring and I don't think I ever read an idea by him that I remember.

Sure, I remember the funny drug bits........and the horrible way he depicted him and his attorney treating some poor girl in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Other than that, he pretty much just wasted the time and effort that plants exert in creating oxygen.

He will not be missed.

Don't worry about it, kid. I'm still here..........FRegards
