He was a genius. A risk taker, a fearless critic of power, and a great writer. He had a nice run. May he rest in peace.

I don't think he was much more than a slightly crazed egomaniac with a typewriter, but sad to see he took his own life.

This came as kind of a shock to me (I think). I was personally a fan of his eccentricity, but there are those who weren't. Love him or hate him, another American icon has passed on. RIP.

"How many more of these goddam elections are we going to have to write off as lame but 'regrettably necessary' holding actions? And how many more of these stinking double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me at the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils? I understand, along with a lot of other people, that the big thing, this year, is Beating Nixon. But that was also the big thing, as I recall, twelve years ago in 1960 - and as far as I can tell, we've gone from bad to worse to rotten since then, and the outlook is for more of the same." - Hunter S. Thompson

Unfortunately for his family, friends, and fans I think he finally got fed up with the bullshit.
