RKS Literature: The Ethical Suicide Parlor Wants You (Kurt Vonnegut)

“The average citizen moped about around home and watched television, which was the government. Every fifteen minutes his television would urge him to vote intelligently or consume intelligently, or worship in the church of his choice, or love his fellowmen, or obey the laws-or pay a call to the nearest Ethical Suicide Parlor and find out how friendly and understanding a Hostess could be.”

Kurt Vonnegut, “Welcome to the Monkey House”, 1968.
