Amazing Kurt Vonnegut essay
This thing got my eyes all misty, and that is not an easy thing.

I wish he could recite this at the Democratic convention.

3. Got a belly laugh on this one
There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don’t know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.

4. i sent this to my dad 2 weeks ago
and he told me if kurt vonnegut doesn't like america, why is he still here?

i had to tell him that, as an american ww2 veteran & POW who witnessed the firebombing of dresden, he gets to say whatever the fuck he wants.

and i told him, once again, to turn off goddamn WLW & FoxNews. this is a man who VOTED FOR MCGOVERN & took me to vietnam war protests. now, he's still pissed about Hitlery & the Clenis! if i can get him to vote for kerry, bush is toast.
