Last weekend we went to see the film 'Gonzo: The life and works of Hunter S.Thompson'. A controversial writer who throughout his career broke new literary and journalistic ground. His idealism and sense of the world around him enabled him to see the world in a clear and pragmatic way, quite possibly a group of skills best used in a written sense. 

I think because of the time that he was in a position to touch his audience, this saw him grow an intense interest in politics and the evolution of the political climate and its pending movements. It made me wonder if his career had developed though out a different time in history what sort of mischief he may have got up to. Even more interesting is the the thought of what he would have made of todays situation. A man who lived and breathed America, it seemed as though the upcoming world issues at the time were heavily involved in his choice to leave the world. But made me wonder what sort of impact he may have had today to the extent that I ask myself could he have played a role in taming todays ongoing disastrous happenings.

Long live the words of Hunter S.Thompson, hopefully we can all take something from what he has said and allow his thoughts to impact on the way we see the world today.
