Fine comment.

Mine was shorter so I think I can quote it all instead of providing a link:

A reader wrote: No comment on the death of Hunter S. Thompson?

I didn't comment on Arthur Miller, either, although I was much surprised when the BBC World Service opened their evening broadcast with a report of his death. (I do think Death of a Salesman is one of the great American contributions to world theatre.)

Miller waited till he got an invitation to go through the door of the Final Exit. Thompson crashed the party. No blame, no shame, as I see it.

I certainly consider it often, and have all my long life.

Thompson was always an outlaw, a delightfully cynical writer who gave me much pleasure and tried to tell this weird country things many inhabitants of it didn't want to know.

Hunter S. Thompson is or was a knot in time waiting to unravel as his friends would put it.

Ask any clairvoyant or rag the FBI used to find out more about the 'sub culture' of the y2k generation and they'll tell you there is no such thing as UFO's. They just track a family that has too much power because they can't do anything about it. Freemasons or no, Motorola or no, Hunter could not not do what he did without being ready.

'We stay no ready because we know we wen do it correct the first time and no wen blow it.' or in the Gaelic/Asian language: there is no reason for death, no excuse for poverty, just look up or inward and you will know why.

The big and natural boobs comment is obviously spam. Why isn't this crap deleted immediately?

Is anyone in charge of this website any longer? I see nothing but spam and more spam. Take care of the problem or delete the site.
