Then you will understand.

Follow this with "Hells Angles" (also by HST), which will make much more sense if you have read Tom Wolf's "The Electric Coolaid Acid Test".

Until that time don't be surprised if people treat you opinion on this matter with something less than contempt !

IMHO it is a very fine avatar that says much about the man. All are things I respect and have aspired to at one time or another (well in the days when my liver used to work anyway)!

Uh, well, I'm all for reading stuff, so I suppose I will read those things. Brendon was going to borrow me Fear and Loathing, but never did, so sorry that you have to suffer my stupidity on the matter. Perhaps someday, if I study, you will be able to stop holding me in contempt. Until then all I can go by is what I see and how it makes me feel. As far as that goes, I'm liking the new avatar, hunter60.
