Errrr Curly, I think that was the point of the quotation.

Or put another way, "don't think Arabs are dumb as they introduced Arabic Numerals into Europe, when at the time all the Europeans had were roman numerals'.

It looks like Vonnegut has serious company

Perhaps it was Vonneguts intention, but I don't think it was Cabby's.

Well we certainly have our share of them(cesspools) here in the U.S.

I think calling an entire area of the world, in this case Europe, a cesspool is over the top. Even the Middle East has some redeeming areas...ummm doesn't it?
