02 Mar 07 Kurt Vonnegut at Ohio State

Kurt Vonnegut made a very wise and at times humorous speech at Ohio State last night. Here are some of the best lines:

“The only difference between Bush and Hitler,” Vonnegut adds, “is that Hitler was elected.”

“We have people in this country who are richer than whole countries,” he says. “They run everything.

“We have no Democratic Party. It’s financed by the same millionaires and billionaires as the Republicans.

“As the world is ending, I’m always glad to be entertained for a few moments. The best way to do that is with music. You should practice once a night.

“If you want really want to hurt your parents and don’t want to be gay, go into the arts,” he says.
