OPINION
Asimov Original Poems October 24, 2005 Kurt Vonnegut The late Isaac Asimov, a great writer of science fiction, Was also Honorary President of the American Humanist Association. We humanists try to behave as honorably as we can, without any expectation of rewards or punishments in an Afterlife. I said at an AHA memorial service for Asimov, “Isaac is looking down on us from Heaven now.” It was the funniest thing I could have said in that particular company. They were started, But then they laughed and laughed. Who would be so mean as to wake up Isaac, or any other dead person, for that matter, For eternal bliss? And yet I, although a humanist, would love to arouse Adolf Hitler for an orgasm lasting A trillion years.
Asimov
