R.I.P. Kurt Vonnegut

"All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true." - Slaughterhouse-Five

In remembrance of the late Kurt Vonnegut, I decided it was time to remind everyone that we are in a war, which is destined to never end, since even the slightest recalculation (unless it's a surge) emboldens terrorism. Ok - I'm not going to say anything further about this, because it will get me nowhere. Those who agree are singing along with the choir, and those who don't are spitting on this article (and soon realizing they just spat on their computer).

My only advice is to go burn all books written by political bobble-heads like Anne Coulter or Michael Moore, and read authors that see human life outside the lines of red and blue (Pynchon, Vonnegut, Carver, Eliot...). Once above the fog of politics, the path for humanity becomes a lot clearer. We are currently on a path of destruction that cannot be mended by further destruction...
