    Rest in Peace Gore Vidal

    I liked him..

    "As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests".
    Gore Vidal

    Great man, great mind, enjoyed the reads. One of the voices that woke me up along the way.

    RIP Gore Vidal
