Player Piano, published in 1952.

BTW, I used Google to find out what book. Vonnegut wasn't my favorite author, I've only read a couple of his books.

Agreed, that was his only book that stuck with me. I read a few a decade or so back.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a whole new round of riots/protests/chaos over the next few years initiated by completely different organizations than we typically see. Im actually expecting it.

Nice... Solid move! Mine is still heavily weighted to casinos and malt liquor corps. Been looking at new opportunities like oregon heroin dispensaries.

When I was buying my ex-wife's engagement ring about 12 years ago I asked if they could give me a better deal on a blood diamond. They were not amused. I thought it was hilarious.
