      Nicely done, Cool.
      Watch this video. Toast to Hunter, with a Joint. Maybe kickback and reblue a revolver. But most importantly Write!

    "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" -H.S.Thompson

    This story would never have been told had our founders not placed freedom of speech first in the list of rights they felt gave mankind true freedom,no attempt to silent our voices in the name of righteous enlightened motive tward a more just popular trend can uphold and honor freedom or its founders sacrifices,freedom of speech belongs to all Americans even if that voice upsets us,the freedom of choice can deal with even the most outrageous message!!!!! History has taught us the outcome of sensorship over and over,hunters story lives because the constitution meant something in his time and im sure he would agree!!!!

    Boy, the crowd at the interview with the biker was generally amused when the biker said, "To keep a woman in line, you gotta beat 'em like a rug once in a while." Their reaction is sort of horrifying.

      What's more Horrifying is how Offended and Upset people nowadays get when one makes a joke like that. I'm not saying the Biker said it as a joke, in this context he's likely Sincere, yet the Audience Saw it as a Joke.

      As a anarchist, he would have naturally opposed Trump. I think he would have appreciated the opposition of the status quo that Trump brings. If my intuition is right, he would have chosen Trump over Beady eyes and crooked clinton if forced to vote.
      He spoke of American youth generations a lot. It's hard to pinpoint an set moral beliefs he had but he clearly had an arrow for truth.

      @George Adept yet biden might take the office. I almost want to give props to biden for being ballsy enough to think that there wont be any repercussions of deceiving the majority of the American public but... Then again, biden is a puppet, a figure. Probably not what I would call a real human being. Replaceable and easy to replicate. No distinctiveness which makes for a perfect pasty. I hate politics. Talking about it makes me need to feel like I need to wipe shit off myself. Blah lol
