“……You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning…… .......And that, I think that was the handle- the sense of inevitable victory over forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark- that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." ~H.S. Thompson .....(A homage to Hunter S. Thompson- to the man, the genius, and the perpetual trouble maker)....”
