We can't stop here! This is bat country!
--------------------

"Hell's
Angels" was my introduction to the work of Hunter S. Thompson.
I did a book report on this book as a high school freshman!
Thompson was found dead today, 02/20/05, in his Aspen-area home of an
apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 67.
--------------------
Well before the Iraq war, Thompson wrote:
"We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world - a nation of
bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We
are not just whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear
in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge
us. George W. Bush does not speak for me or my son or my mother or my
friends or the people I respect in this world."
Hunter S. Thompson
