Re: Hunter S. Thompson: 1937–2005
I am very sad at this man's passing. He was a personal hero of sorts, and I hate to see him come to such a horrible end, as he still had so much left in him. With that said, I secretly (not so secretly anymore) feel that this is the only way a man of this caliber (no pun intended) could go out. Too passive to let the police take him out, and too aggressive to greet death laying in his sickbed.
Mr. Duke, you will be missed.

I feel no pity or respect for someone that off's themsel;ves. It's selfish and I don't give a rat's ass how 'bad' things may have been.

We are all human. People aren,t perfect. People are crazy some more than others. When you are mentaly ill you tend to do things that are irrational. So when one decides to take their own life because they feel dejected and hopeless than that's a mental illness. All it is is SAD. Your little staement there is alittle COLD. Maybe you should think about it.
