By the way, not to beat a lively horse, but I’d like to mention I once saw a clever T-shirt that read “I grok TANSTAAFL.”

LOL! I always wondered at the odd reception for Stranger In A Strange Land. Heinlein was not a friend of organized religion, in fact, frequently referred to the very idea as a tent-show scam and a threat to human freedom, and yet in Smith he very clearly presents a Christ. The hippies seized on the free-love thing in the book as received wisdom but in retrospect it's fairly obvious that here, too, quite a bit more was going on. A subtle book, IMHO, not at all what it was seen as in the credulous 60's.
