Re: Stephen Fry & Friends on Christopher Hitchens
Oh, you found one on youtube. I just torrented it the other day because I couldn't find any that weren't blocked in this country. Will be watching later.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]
Re: Stephen Fry & Friends on Christopher Hitchens
Thank you for the link. A nice, chatty occasion in honour of the great Hitch.

Re: Stephen Fry & Friends on Christopher Hitchens
It was a bit creepy to re-listen to this after he died. Everyone referring to him in the present tense... *shiver*

It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Actually if you watch it again you might notice that occasionally people refer to him in the past tense too. Made me wince once or twice, considering he was probably watching it from his hospital bed.

Libertarianism: The belief that out of all the terrible things governments can do, helping people is the absolute worst.
