Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. - Kurt Vonnegut, "Cat's Cradle"

Kurt Vonnegut was one of the sharpest and most interesting minds of the 20th century. His books were satirical, dark, poignant, intellectual and yet extremely accessible. His most famous books, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Breakfast of Champions are all considered works of science fiction, and yet the criticisms and satire are very applicable to the world we live in. Vonnegut was a socialist, and an open critic of the latest American wars and until the day he died.

While his work was often political in nature, he rarely named specific politicians until he ceased writing fiction. But he was often quoted in the 2000's with blistering critiques of the Bush administration in writing for In These Times. Having been a soldier and prisoner of war in World War II, he was especially angered by the administration's treatment of soldiers.

"By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas."

Vonnegut wrote 14 novels, and 10 collections of short stories.

"Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone"

The Further adventures of everyone's favorite destructor. This time he creates a hockey stick like Voltron making its sword. Not as good as the original, but hey at least there's a jet. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1928127 reply

Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.

A constellation of stars all go super nova at once, creating a giant space bear traveling at the speed of light thru the danger zone vaporizing planets. I then slap shots a satellite with its massive hockey stick creating an explosion of letters the size of small planets. Zooming towards the Earth it destroys the moon without even touching it. It shrinks in size upon entry to the atmosphere but after its impact in Anchorage making the entire city a smoldering crater it grows yet again. The space bear then tramples thousands of acres of forest on the way to the Carlson Center to punch a hole in the roof. It inexplicably shrinks down to a fraction of its original size and ruins the ice for the game that is about to start. Its roar distorts human speech to the point that nothing is intelligible. And then, the Sandman Enters. reply
