Vonnegut has that effect on a lot of people.  In fact, here in the good
old U.S. of A., Kurt's books are routinely banned from libraries and
other places where books live, frequently by people who haven't read him
or who see the word "fuck" in flipping through a volume.

I'm not being critical of you; I'm just pointing out how one thing can
so easily lead to another, and a quote or an excerpt can lead to things
like book-banning!

Cheers.
