Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007)
Hello everyone.
As I'm sure you've heard by now, Kurt Vonnegut, legendary writer and noted peace activist, passed away on Wednesday night.
I have been a bit focused on this event, and helped put together this tribute video for the man:
In any case, we have lost one of the few brave souls willing to call himself a pacifist in these frightening times.
"I have wanted to give Iraq a lesson in democracy - because we're experienced with it, you know. And, in democracy, after a hundred years, you have to let your slaves go. And, after a hundred and fifty years, you have to let your women vote. And, at the beginning of democracy, is that quite a bit of genocide and ethnic cleansing is quite okay. And that's what's going on now."
-Kurt Vonnegut
In other news, the Virtual Rally is still on for Monday. And I'll let you know when we have OMBFP merchandise available.

Thank you for your comment on my page, and the link to this beautiful eulogy.
We can only hope to understand the world in such a way that Kurt did. It is a reminder to do what we do, and do it a lot, because that is what Kurt would do.
I am sure Kurt is laughing like hell right now. I am convinced of it.
