Farewell Loathing
I was sorry to hear of the death of Hunter S. Thompson. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was an obsession of mine as a young hedonistic teenager. The words of his friend Mike rang true:
He’s the last person in the world I would have expected to kill himself. I would have been less surprised if he had shot me.
RIP Hunter.

According to Poppy Z Brite he was really sick with something, and ended it rather than live on in pain.
That takes a lot of courage.
