Be well, Mr Hitchens. The world needs your voice.
Agreed. You are much needed, Hitch. Be strong.
No one has opened my eyes and mind wider than you have Mr. Hitchens. You are truly an icon to me and have shaped my being. As a free thinking college student you have shown me what is right, feel better.
