Kurt Vonnegut vs. the !&#*!@
Part of me wants to say WOW WOW WOW..what an amazing man and I am so glad to see something like this written by him. Then I re-read this short interview and realize that there is more to this than Mr. Vonnegut is interested in seeing.
Perhaps, part of it is my immaturing or inexperience or maybe it is because I haven't been turned bitter yet. Or maybe Mr. Vonnegut is just an angry old man.
Anyway, check it out and judge for yourself. Our society is set up in a way to promote "rightists" vs. critical thinking...that, I believe, will be its ultimate downfall.
"Responsibility to which society? To Nazi Germany? To the Stalinist Soviet Union? What about responsibility to humanity in general?"
