BigDave Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hunter S. Thomson commits suicide Good luck to you, Sir, on your new trip. Thanks for sharing. You made me laugh. You made me think. Farewell, Good Doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I heard about this last night. It made me feel sad. A brilliant wit has passed for sure. Do you ever catch yourself thinking that your life would be better if you only had more money, fame, or success? If only people understood you better? Do not be distracted by the names in the headlines, the sad haunted souls that pop culture brands "legends". In seeking after temporal things, most have completely lost their way. Each of us must live out our own legend. And it is to be lived out between us and the Creator alone. Be confident, God does love you. Trust that guidance will come to you as you need it and don't look for it pre-packaged in advance. This is the essence of Being. It is eternal. It begins right now. Suicide is the last gasp effort to try and take charge of something you were never designed or equipped to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisgahrifle Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 You know, I was never quite sure that such a magnificent bastard could ever die. Thompson took the American people by the throat and scremed at us to take our country back in a way that pretenders like Mike Moore can merely fantasize about. You made us think, you made us reasess our inhibitions, and you reminded us of what the American character is and should be. You tried your best to make us see. Thanks, Doc Thompson.

DJPoLo Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I'm not sure if I feel like HST copped the easy way out or if he chose his end fully in control. You must respect the idea that he chose the latter. -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
