    As much as I like Vonnegut, it was Mary Schmich who wrote the words to "Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen)." As it says in the link posted.

    To get it right, the poster had to read his own link, which he had to take the time to find.

    Sometimes I think about not reading Slashdot any more. It really has gotten terribly lazy
