this book was recently banned from a high school in missouri the late author kurt vonnegut his memorial library actually and you know offering to send free copies but it was banned for creating quote false conceptions of american history and government that teaches principals contrary to biblical morality and truth so i took great i want to talk to you about this i mean it seems a absurd to me that thought around five would be banned from any school in america and especially for those reasons how does that relate to kind of what you've been writing about regarding hiroshima and nagasaki. as many people know vonnegut's slaughterhouse five it's partly based on his true i experience as even though it's a novel it's even in some form a science fiction novel that spacetime is true life experiences in dresden and so he is kind of one of the world's leading witnesses you might say on that and you know he sense that wrote an article today for the nation of saki which quotes him saying that no matter what justification anyone might make for emotion there's no justification for dogs and out crime
