I'd like to thank all of you for your thoughts about HST. He was obviously at the end of his rope. Or how many times had he help one of his many guns to his head?
How the **** could America vote those neo-fascists in for a second term? That is more perplexing than anything. It has guaranteed the demise of this empire. Hunter knew it, he probably even wanted to do something about it. But he was in pain from back surgery, broken bones, old age setting in to quickly for him. He lived fast, an adrenaline junkie to the core, and I think he couldn't imagine himself not being able to do the things many of us take for granted: being able to get out of bed or being able to walk. But even more disheartening, he'd been through all this before with Nixon and the arrogant bastards of that era. I can kind of understand because now Americans are just scared pussies. He was still writing good stuff or at least he was trying to get us to rebel a little. I've read a few comments from people who say he hadn't written anything good in years. Bull****! You know what I did the day after that ****ty little nail biter of an election? The one and only thing that actually made me feel good about living in this country. I bought his latest rantings, Hey Rube, which helped me because I knew I wasn't alone.
Beyond all that he was a mentor, a literary genius, a true patriot, what I wish America represented. I could go on and on.
Mahalo. Goodbye Doc.
