Death
took Kurt Vonnegut and
controversy got Don Imus.
I've never been a fan of Imus and frankly I loathe Kurt Vonnegut's writing, but more voices are better than fewer. Death will silence all of us eventually. If you are a party to the hastening of the silencing process just because you don't like what someone has to say, your belief in free speech is very much in question in my view.
