[Heinlein] described love in a single sentence....

OK, I'll bite :-). What was the single sentence?

He was a libertarian, not a pinko. You're obviously not bright enough to get my vote next year. And so you won't.

And speaking of "pinkos", what's with your Big Stupid Republican Government "free" pill vote-buying scam, anyway?

"Facts are facts."

See me when you actually have some.

"Namecalling is against the rules. It also reveals a paucity of social skills and a lack of factual rebuttals."

I repeat--BUZZ OFF, BOZO!!! I'm not interested in having a conversation with a nutcase whose sole "factual backing" is tin-foil-hattery based on sheer speculation and "guilt by association" (and yes, bozo, I checked the available on-line info on "Aleister Crowley" and "Heinlein", and it IS tin-foil-hatttery).

Have you ever seen a Warthog with social skills?? I could give a flying damn about social skills.

And as to your other postings, they are stuff I already know about Heinlein, and hence, to me, a waste of bandwidth--though other folks might be interested.

I often find myself wishing we had some diplomats like Jame Retief.



Ditto...as would all the FReepers here if they only knew of this series. Instead, we usually see a version of Undersecretary Magnan.
