And you're right. I haven't read Heinlein since I was a teenager. I don't rely on writers of boys' science fiction stories to determine my political philosophy. I have to admit, though, his aliens were neat. (They were collectivist spiders, as I recall).

Incidentally, I heard on NPR today that Nobel Prize economist Krugman that conservatives love to hate demolishing some right wing shill on just this issue (The Ryan budget.) The moderator asked the shill to justify the Bush Tax cuts, but he neatly evaded the question altogether. I almost pulled over to the side of the road and wrote down all the particulars so I could respond with some devastating riposte. Then I realized no matter what I said, or what he said, you would simply dismiss it as NPR Socialist propaganda and not worth listening to. And I also realized that one-upping you on the Zone was not worth the potential hazard of pulling in and out of freeway traffic.
