Had a shot of whiskey while watching the best of "hitchslap" playlist on youtube. a great thinker that wil be deeply missed. While i definitely did not agree on all his stances (iraq war) there have been very few men I have been in agreement as much as Hitchens.
He will live on through his work though, the only true form of an "after life".
Having been diagnosed with cancer last year, writer Christopher Hitchens has died. He was known as as an outspoken atheist, which is not, in itself, identical to being a committed rationalist in any systematic way. Even so, he seemed to have the virtue of moral courage, the willingness to speak the truth as he saw it, without fear.
