RIP, Dr. Kevononnegorkianut

Kurt Vonnegut influenced me from the age of 13, when I read Slaughterhouse 5. I don't really understand how people can not understand the horrors of war. They have the same access to 'The Red Badge of Courage,' 'Hiroshima,' and 'Catch-22' that I had. It's an intentional ignorance, isn't it? Denial of the horror of the wars of the world? How many wars are going on as of today 4-12-7? I'm guessing 30! What's your guess? I was off by a bit.

Kurt Vonnegut used his gift to help people think. He understood how important life was, and how important it was to live.

Work hard to make the world better! Play hard, so that you are better at it.
