[Snake65]

I know one writer for a fact that is NOT a liberal! Paging Snake65!

To quote the Duke: "That'll be the day."

There's a mix, as in all professions. I'm quite conservative, my editor is a red diaper baby NYC liberal, and I know authors from all over the spectrum. When we get together, we tend to talk books and ideas rather than politics - but I get along best with those on the conservative side. I agree with some of the others that if anything there's a libertarian streak to SF authors.

SF is one of the harder places to fit on the left/right spectrum. There are a lot of military buffs who are conservative, there are the Utopian who are ultra liberal, then there are the unicorn types who believe everyone would be OK if we could all just get along. :)

A perfect example of this is the aforementioned JMS, overall I think he is liberal (he is a close friend of Harlon Ellison) however in B5 he was able to slip in some of the most interesting and balanced religious characters and plot lines I have seen on ~any~ TV show ever.

Hey there! And how cosmic is it that I paged you on Post #65? :-)

I agree about the libertarian streak.

Any chance your editor can be turned from the Dark Side? {grin}
