Journal StalinsNotDead's Journal: Harrison Bergeron 8
The other day the topic of that story came up. People around the office seem to enjoy getting my opinion on things. I think some people like bitter and cynical observations.
I told them that I think the problem with that story is that peoples' sense of self-importance makes everybody who reads that identify with Bergeron...Especially people who read Vonnegut.
Then someone says "Hey! I like Vonnegut!"
Don't make me report you to the handicapper general.
*laughter*
I wasn't joking.

I had to google it:-(
So did you see this article [slashdot.org]?

I was chuckling about that as I posted;-) A friend of mine once said, "You cannot laugh at others if you can't laugh at yourself. And tehre are people just dying to be laughed at!" I try to never take myself too seriously, and I do that even more so on slashdot. So by all means, fire away!
