This was a great essay. If I remember correctly, he took a lot of heat for it.

i have read a fair amount of simmons’ published work. Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion are just brilliant, imho. I did not care for the following 2 books (endymnion etc) nearly as much. I got bored of Ilium/etc.
This is an interesting piece.
To: BenLurkin
Absolutely horrifying. May it never come to pass.
The author shocks us into confronting the very real danger of Islam, but fails to factor the 90 million gun owners of America into his “historical” equation.
I believe that the American gun-owning public might just figure prominently in this story, somehow.

In the 90’s, I used to correspond with Ken Grimwood, who was a posting buddy from CompuServe. He sent me one of his books, I’m sure it was “Replay”, but I had no idea of what a great writer he was at the time. I went to look him up a while back to say “Hi”, and was very saddened to learn he had passed away. He was a really decent and funny man, and exceptionally talented.

Thx for posting.
First I’ve heard of it.
My son and I shared reading of all of Simmon’s work.
Great stuff.

Whatever the three words might be, I hope the speculation keeps people reading and circulating this piece.

In 2006 you still fear yourselves and your own institutions first, out of old habit.

There is good reason to fear our government. They are in league with Islam.
To: BenLurkin
Sure would be good if this ended up in every inbox of every elected hack and every general officer (expecially Mac!)...yep, sure would be good.
Thanks for posting!

I guessed correctly: June 5, 1968 is when RFK was shot, by an Palestinian terrorist. Only thing is that Sirhan Sirhan was born into a Christian family, and belonged to a 7th-Day Adventist church.
