has nothing to do with this thread.
I just stumbled across an amazing book by Robert Heinlein -
For Us, The Living: A Comedy of Customshttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/074325998X/103-7061829-3638222?v=glance&n=283155This is allegedly Heinlein's first work of literature which was never released until, I believe, 2003. Whether you're on the extreme right or the extreme left or pretty much anywhere inbetween you'll hopefully walk away with something valuable after reading this book.
I've been a fan of Heinlein since I was a child but was never aware of his life before he became a writer. His political history and views are worth taking a serious look at.
