A message for our times from Hunter S. Thompson

[Heidi]

Before HST died, he did a question-and-answer thing on a website that's now redirected to www.hunterthompsonfilms.com

I can't remember what the question was, probably someone asking for life advice. Here's HST's answer. In total, I think it's pretty good advice and makes a point about our addiction to oil.

1. "When The Going Gets Weird, The Weird Turn Pro"

My personal favorite HST quote.

2. I watched the British documentary, ""Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision" last night.

I had hopeful dreams. :)

3. This one is great, written post-JFK assassination

This is the end of reason, the dirtiest hour in our time. I mean to come down from the hills and enter the fray... No more fair play. From now on it is dirty pool and judo in the clinches. The savage nuts have shattered the great myth of American decency. They can count me in - I feel ready for a dirty game.

Applicable in these times more than ever, I feel.

4. Thank you for that, Tarc.

It's 8 p.m. here and I'm going upstairs to watch "Breakfast With Hunter." :hi:
