“We have become such a pitiless people,and I think it’s TV that’s done it to us. When I went to war in World War II, we had two fears. One was we would be killed. The other was that we might have to kill somebody. And now killing is Whoopee. It does not seem much anymore. To my generation, it still seemed like an extraordinary thing to do, to kill.” ~Kurt Vonnegut (source)
Pretty sad that what he said is our reality.
