I miss Hunter the world just isn’t the same without him.
I must say Anita you are truly a vision absolutely gorgeous.

I would loved to have been there the numerous times Hunter himself explained his ideals. From what I gather, he was unapologetic in the way he lived his life - lived on without sugar coating himself for others. A rarity in today's world.

Peaceful non participation is the term. Don't buy their products, goods and services and they will go away. Mass organized consumerism is the only power we have left. Consumer power, buying power, and not buying power, is the key.

The fact Anita has to explain this means Hunter's message was not perfectly clear to others. I know what he means by Gonzo Journalism but his choices and lifestyle is where the contridiction comes. We need to sustain and not corrupt the coming generations so they know the truth. If I can add a small note to this I would say -- stop asking him about things you already know about. That to me is insulting. As senior adults we develop senility which determines our limits. Maybe that is what the interviewer is getting at?
