And in the category of it's funny because it's true.....
I used this quote to begin a presentation I did way back when in college in some class in. It wasn't a presentation on Vonnegut. I think it was a history class, or maybe a colonial lit. class?
"The teachers told the children that this [1492] was when the continent was discovered by human beings. Actually, millions of human beings were already living full and imaginative lives on the continent in 1492. That was simply the year in which sea pirates began to cheat and rob them."
Kurt Vonnegut
