The devinition of Dignity, thanks for teaching us so much.
Luv listening to you Chris... Get well soon...
To the best teacher and friend I never personally met. Don't go yet, I want to learn so much more.
:’-( This ruined my whole day. I’d give him the day before my last day if I could.
Shameless self-promotion, as we've come to expect from CH over the last twenty years.
What about the countless deaths in Iraq that CH has publicly cheered about? Why is his largely self-inflicted demise more important than those of the victims of policies he vigorously advocated?

What do you mean 'shameless self-promotion'? A dying man who is already one of the most well known and respected journalists and writers has nothing he needs to promote but his ideas which he honestly considers a way to emancipate people.
BTW how many times did the interviewer ask him in various constructions of the same question "Now that you are dying are you gonna convert/pray for a miracle cure/recant your atheism?" Answers on a post(card).
Thank you for your contribution to our culture. I really hope things will work out. My sincere best wishes.
Now Christopher is one whose life one can actually admire, in times as these when many turn to obscurantism.
