Yes, "so it goes," but Kurt will be missed

Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday. He was 84.

i think i've read nearly everything he's written, and, for me, he's been one of the voices that most clearly reflects the insanity and absurdity that passes for reason and common sense in this modern world... Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance With Death acquainted me with the horrors of dresden, a nightmare conveniently omitted from our history lessons, and his understated comment on death, dying, and all things transitory, "so it goes," has been part of my lexicon ever since... all the best to you on the other side, mr. vonnegut...
