When Wolfe claimed that “values are lost because we think we are animals” I had to disagree. Values are lost for people who think there is a God and some kind of punishment or reward. Values are not lost for people who realize that we’re all a part of the universe, and to do good is an end in itself.

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be."
Kurt Vonnegut

That made me cry. Vonnegut was a damn good man. Thanks for this post.

I’m reading “Mother Night” right now, and this was a pleasant surprise.

-Always be there for the average cock action-

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Oh, yes, FOX is sooooo sensitive to the grieving families of dead celebrities. Just check out their obituary for the far more admirable Kurt Vonnegut.

Every time I see this trick, I'm reminded of Kurt Vonnegut's Ice-9

I'm going to miss Kurt Vonnegut. I'm glad he left some of his alter egos with us. (Kilgore Trout, Billy Pilgrim, Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-ll Swain, etc.)

The whole thing sounds like it was written by Kurt Vonnegut.
