I got shit to do this week, but the internet is setting off my Complicated Heinlein Issues, and it might be time for me to process said issues in a big essay post thing, and I want to read ALL of the big complicated Heinlein posts but i has no time.

+sighs+ The problem with being into classic sci-fi, I suppose, is no matter how ahead of their time they were, they're never far enough?
