Great wisdom coming from a pill-popping acid freak that put a cap in
himself.


In a final act of selfishness, his will states that he is to be cremated and
his ashes shot out of a cannon.

What a waste. His family could have fetched at least $300 an ounce on the
street for those ashes.

I wonder what was the last thing to go through his mind.


The"ast thing to go though his mind"?

a slug from a .45 cal ACP, that is....what mind he had left.

Evidently, he must have thought that one shot wasn't good enough.
blowing ash's out of a cannon?

Remember when John Goodman and Bridges scattered their friends ash's
over a cliff in The Big Labowski???

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thompson knew were he stood. In 2003's "Kingdom of Fear," he wrote: "We
have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world -- a nation of
bullies and *******s who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are
not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear
in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us
. . . . No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or
we'll kill you.


I find it interesting that all these tributes to Hunter Thompson are
to a man who, in retrospect, was probably one of the most degenerate
public figures in modern American history.

Not to mention that he would probably just as soon shoot you as look
at you.


An original thinker who saw things in situations that others didn't,
even when he wasn't on drugs.

#2 Yeah...the "rich" I wonder how much his Colorado estate is worth?

He worked for his spoils, they didn't fall in his lap unlike some
spoiled children who had everything handed to him.

Bush is a "butt boy" for the rich. Just because you hold that against
HT, doesn't make it untrue or, as you said, a piece of original
thinking.

He had many incredible insights as was proven over a lengthy history of
selling his creative efforts.

I recall when he, William Greider and PJ O'Rourke travelled to Little
Rock to meet the Democratic candidate for President, Bill Clinton.
Thompson wrote something about how Clinton buried his head in a basket
of fries and how he could make out a soft snorfling sound (like a pig
would make). I nearly fell out of bed laughing. He definitely had a
unique way of seeing the world.

Sounds like you feel about Hunter Thompson the same way I feel about Pat
Robertson.

I wonder if Ted Kennedy is included in the rich list?

Hunter Thompson? What socially redeeming action has he ever performed?
