Tonight Jaron told me Hitch had cancer. I did not believe him. This is just so depressing. So depressing. Christopher Hitchens has made a huge impact on my life, not as large as Hemingway and Kerouac, but still. So sad.
whew... I saw the title and I was so afraid he had one of those conversion moments... this sucks. We need more people like Hitchens to advocate logic and reason... :-/
very sad. though not nearly as sad as his eternal death or the likelihood that, by way of his literary output, he will have dragged many others to theirs.
I think he is just ok with the idea that consciousness stops when we die... a scary thought and most run to religion or drugs. He returns to reason and investigation.

I'm glad he's sticking to rationality though.
