Hunter S. Thompson [1937 – 2005]
This country has been having a nationwide nervous breakdown since 9/11. A nation of people suddenly broke, the market economy goes to shit, and they’re threatened on every side by an unknown, sinister enemy. But I don’t think fear is a very effective way of dealing with things — of responding to reality. Fear is just another word for ignorance.
A thought from one of the obituaries: why, if Thompson was such a genius, did nobody ever hire him?
‘Objective journalism is one of the main reasons [America] has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long.’
