Why don't you mention the writer by name, you arrogant Stinkwad ponce?

You are alluding to Arthur C. Clark, who never got a patent on his idea and
lost out in billions of dollars in revenue from it!!!

How about 2001 and 2010? With the deranged warlord republican
administrations running the country into the ground, the space program will
never get caught up to where it should have been by now.

You should KILLFILE yourself, you worthless troll.

That does it for me, YOU just crossed the line, as of NOW you have joined
the ranks of TROLLS that live within my KILLFILE.

BTW, one of the worlds greatest Sci-Fi writter also Invented the idea of a
relay satillite in orbit, named it "Telstar" and one of his stories was
made
into a major, very well known big screen movie in 1968.

Too bad, Lady Blackhead, you opinion doesn't count for anything at all.

Hunter S. Thompson was not as Sci-Fi author you dimwit. Yeah sure, those
political hack writers like Ernest Hemingway are always offing
themselves.
They were such bad writers they won pulitzer prizes. Jealous?

It would seem the troll is you, hateful biatch!!!

Ignore these trolls, Starlord. I'd never heard of the dead guy they're
talking about, but then, I happen to avoid reading Doonesbury, and
depressing books. E-mail me if you want to talk about Anne McCaffery,
gardening, and the stars. And let these hate-mongers go on their way.

Side note: Ever notice how few really good Sci-fi and Fantasy authors
off
themselves, conpared to political hack writers? Wonder why that
is...........

1st of all, I've seen enough of the "Real World", I've been to 49 or
the
50
states in the USA, I've seen parts of europe, I've seen Vietnam even.

I've worked for a living, even worked when I was only about 10 years
old.

I don't need to be told what the world is like, I've "been there ...
done
that" more than I ever care to remember.

The only drug I take is asprin to deaden the pains in my knees, I
watched
idots in vietnam get high and then get themselves blown to bits.

The Mojave news is the only paper I pick up and it has no comics in
it.

Live in the clouds? Na, I'd rather live far above them, in the endless
reachs of Interstellar Space. And those books just sounded so
depressing,
besides, I've seen H.A.'s when I road with my dad in his 18 wheeler,
no
big
deal, they don't bother me and I don't bother them.

This is my last post on him, I've never read his stuff and most likly
never
will, but in the mean time, not only do I have a box full of Sci-Fi
books
awaiting me, I'm also a follower of one John Dobson and he's far from
being
depressing and he's up in his 80's now and still pushing glass. Go
look
up
John Dobson.

Face the facts, babe.

You're really not living in the real world at all if you haven't a
clue
what's been going on in the real world all along.

You have nobody to blame but yourself. You wouldn't last five minutes
where
the buffallo roam.

If ever read the newspapers and saw Doonesbury in the funny pages,
you
would
have seen Hunter S. Thompson portrayed as the character "Duke".

With your attitude you would never win Ben Stein's money!!!!

Maybe you are a different story once the drugs finally kick in?!!!!!

Oh, I prefer conventional reality to lead me to ultimate reality,
so
while
I
have not read one Hunter Thompson book, my husband has every one
and
read
some
of them more than once.

The point here is, how does one live in the real world and not know
who
this
person is. I can see by your answer that you live in the clouds,
which
is
okay
too, but to call something "muck" based on the title is a bit
ignorant.

opined:

with book titles like that, it's no wonder I've not heard of him,
they
all
sound very depressing and I'd rather sail amoung the Stars and
Planets
than
be depressed. Would rather read sci-fi about the Dragon Riders of
Pern
than
wading through some muck.

Thanks, but No Thanks.
