The Associated Press is reporting that we have lost Kurt Vonnegut. He was a one-of-a-kind writer and a one-of-a-kind thinker and I have been very pleased in the past to share some of his more recent quotes here. I am saddened to think that the great mind, the great wit, is now and forever silent. I think we will not see his kind again, but I am ever so pleased that he graced us with his presence for as long as he did.I listen to the ethical pronouncements of the leaders of the so-called religious revival going on in this country, including those of our President, and I am able to distill only two commandments from them. The first commandment is this: "Stop thinking." The second commandment is this: "Obey."
Kurt Vonnegut
