2081 - Film of Kurt Vonnegut's Dystopian Short Story "Harrison Bergeron", 1961
#3
Tellin' it like it is was Kurt's only way to be.
A public school product of Shortridge High, he pointed out that when he was in high school Indiana had the one of the highest literacy rates in the nation, but by the 1990s only Mississippi and Arkansas ranked lower than Indiana.
He made this point on a local PBS interview in about 2002.
He had come to a "Douglass-esque" view long before some.

I have no higher tribute than this fact, I own very little fiction. Kurt Vonnegut I do have and have done so since I read Slaughter House 5.

We miss ya Kurt, and yes it is better to laugh than cry - less mess left from laughin'.
Read not to contradict and confute;
nor to believe and take for granted;
nor to find talk and discourse;
but to weigh and consider.
