I could not help but realize that Nixon insisted he was helping the nation by putting his personal judgements of just security or (also known as) "spying" into the context of protecting the American people. His Anglo-American jurisprudence proves to cement itself within his beliefs, never mentioning any line of regret or even remorse, for America or for his own personal core values which stand slighted, at best... yet this makes sense in the scheme of the 1970s.
Hunter S. Thompson might be crazy, but at least he is rational in the sense that he is not overly paranoid of competition because he trusts his obscene journalistic "Gonzo" style. I have studied the Watergate incident thoroughly and many of the names that Thompson mentions are familiar and true to their descriptions, with a little bit of overly nationalistic angst sprinkled on top. But, ultimately I agree- no matter who you are, over-confidence is vice. It would be better for everyone if the whole population had a sense of self evaluation and double checking of their in"sanity", but hopefully not in an obtrusive way. Stay safe within your personal wishes, vendettas, and aspirations- be loud when you're called for.
