I'm a long time fan, having read many of his books over the years and there was definitely a time when Vonneguts view of the world matched my own.  I've mellowed with age, a great suprise to the few people who still know me from my older days but fortunately Mr Vonnegut never did.  In fact I think his outrage grew greater as did his despair at being unable to affect anything.  November 11 was Vonnegut's birthday and this quote from him captures him perfectly.
