Vonnegut's Thoughts?

If Vonnegut were to somehow hear about our project, I think the first thing he would think is that we are using our right of freedom of speech.  While he may not agree with some of our assessments in regards to his novel and what he was trying to portray, he would agree with the fact that we were willing to put these thoughts out in the open for others to see.  I mean, isn't that what he did?  He took his views on life and his war experiences and put them out there whether anyone else agreed or not.  He took the risk that others would think he was crazy or wrong or odd for thinking and believing what he did.  In a way isn't that what the class is doing on a lesser scale?  True, we are not necessarily compromising the world's view of the American army, or selling our ideas about time, space travel, and life in general, but a risk is a risk, and we are taking one too.
