The world has lost a great literary icon, a true independent thinker, a scholar, philosopher
and genius in his own rite. Gone the way of Hemmingway. To honor his memory I will not recite bereavement clichés because Thompson was anything but. So instead I will toast a tumbler of wild turkey on the rocks tonight…this one is to you my friend. Cheers.

It is widely believed that Hemmingway made a sound, conscious and calculated decision to kill himself. He ascribed to the belief that a Hero realizes when his time has come. This time is marked by an epiphany: Whether take control of that final step in life, and force their own Will upon their legacy. Or leave it to fate, which ultimately amounts to clinging to the fading memory of what they once were until they die lonely, senile, and forgotten. Many believe that Hemmingway felt that he was no longer effective as a writer that there was nothing more that he could contribute to the world, so he felt he had reached this point. I believe Thompson knew this too. Thompson was a follower of Hemmingway and ascribed to many of his philosophies, and that is why I draw the parallel in my first post.

Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
-Ernest Hemingway

respect to raol_duke....

you really need to read his work to respect who he was as a philosopher and a progressive thinker in this country.... it's a sad sad loss, but i'm incredibly happy that he went out on his own terms.... HST is my Co-Pilot

Definately the best journalist/author of the second half of the 20th century. I've read nearly everything he has written (except Curse of Lono because it's about $300), and I can honestly say the man was brilliant.

^^because reading is better for you and you get the whole story out instead of something that was crammed into a 2 hour time frame. also books always come before the movie, so the original story is the book, not the movie.
