I like Bruce Springsteen, but he also falls into the pathetic category of "if it is democrat it is good".
If Bruce was confronted with an article like this and others posted here , his mind would IMMEDIATELY go into !!ERASE!! mode.
Why?? He will destroy ANYTHING that challenges his programmed prejudices.
He makes his mind robotic, with primal orders "This challenges our basic beliefs. DESTROY!!!!!!!!!!! "
i , and i mean this, over the past several years have come to realize their are very few freeminds, in %, in the entire world, as people either have their minds chained by others or my their ownselves.
Have i lost faith in humankind's ability to be inwardly free??
Yes. Mos Def.
i have come to where Kurt Vonnegut , jr arrived, after he witness the HORROR 0f , at one point, americans giving Bush an 85% approval rating for his invasion of Iraq.
Kurt's son Mark Vonnegut said when KV witnessed the rush to approve Bush'es war he had every drop of optimism in him DESTROYED.
This is one of my most disliked posts, strange that it is most disliked by people that LOVE Kurt Vonnegut,jr.(i have nothing but admiration for Kurt Vonnegut,jr--the Mark Twain of my generation)
Why?? Because The Truth MUST be ANNIHILATED, the primal order !!ERASE!!! is activated.
They didn't want to know this information, so they must DESTROY the information, and attack the messenger of the information.

Coug since you were so self righteously cock-sure you understood Kurt VONNEGUT ,jr. i post this.
Just read Man Without a Country, and face facts.
My statements regards VONNEGUT views were written NOT based on "Man Without a Country", i already knew for reason's that are my own business.
In my life i found people are nice UNTIL you dare prove them wrong.
So i close with this, given that the last book of K.V.,jr. gives me the written evidence of what i already knew, but could not prove.
i will close with quotes from Kurt Vonnegut's last book, for those that were convinced he was an "we can do optimist"(they were so wrong)
KV wrote:
"Life is no way to treat an animal" And he stated he wanted that quote to be his epitaph.
When asked by one of his readers "how the american public could be so stupid?"
VONNEGUT related his answer in this way, this is an EXACT QUOTE.
"I told him that if he doubted that we are demons in Hell, he should read Mysterious Stranger, which Mark Twain wrote in 1898, long before WWI.In the title story he proves to his own grim satisfaction ,and to mine as well, that SATAN and not God created the planet earth and 'the damned human race'." written by Kurt VONNEGUT, jr--2004.
What was KV's very last written statement about his faith.
Exact quote "I am an agnostic that believes in Jesus"
Now that is a dynamic conundrum.:) Max
