No, dammit, NO!
It was NOT supposed to be this way! There was no reason, no fucking reason at ALL why you had to take your own life yesterday. You were supposed to forever rage against the swine and greed-heads that were cheapenging this world. You bought the ticket - but you didn't take the ride. Not to the end. No, you got off before it stopped. What happened to "Horatio Alger on acid"? Is this what he would do? Is this how the American Dream really ends?
You're a bastard, a fucking BASTARD, for doing this to us. I would expect this from someone else...but we counted on you to always be there and to always expose the man behind the curtain for what he is - A cheap huckerster of rightous indignation, schooled in the theory of "get there the fastest with the mostest". I know this, now. I know this because you showed me the truth....but you never said anything about doing THIS. Was it a lie? Did you make a DEAL, you two-timing sewer-rat? Or did you always know? Live fast, die young, don't take any guff. Did you see no other way out? Was this the only way to save yourself from yourself or from selling out (or both)?
Well, it's over now. H. L. Mencken said (you even quoted him), "To the living we owe respect. To the dead - only the truth." What will they say now that you ended your life this way?
Rest in peace Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. I will miss you always.

Favorite student anecdotes from a weird week:
Two students talking in the hall:
"What did you give up for lent"?
"Booty".
A group of students at lunch:
"I can't go....my sisters are in town and staying with me."
"Dude, your sisters are hot."
"I know, your sisters a so damn hot they're SMOKIN'"
"Shut up! Those are my sisters you're talking about, assholes."
"They're still fucking hot."
"Yeah, I'd totally bang 'em".
Two students at dinner:
"Hey, I thought you became a vegetarian"?
"I did".
"Then why are you eating meat"?
"I'm not eating meat".
"That's a CHICKEN burrito. Chicken is meat, you know".
"It is"?
"Yeah".
[long pause]
"Fuck".
And my personal favorite....between a teacher and male student at breakfast:
Teacher: "Are you wearing make-up"?
Student: "Yes".
"Why are you doing that"?
"Theatrics". [student walks off]
