The Lead In: I keep hoping this will turn around, no dice tonight.


The 411 on the 55: Ben heads to Mike’s “church to discover what is going on. What is going on, you might ask? Orgies and BS. It’s like Heinlein wanted to be a hippy and never got the chance, but since this book was written before the hippies took over, does that make it the precursor? Regardless, today’s reading was a complete load of crap, Mike’s view of the world and the idiots he has brainwashed. No thank you.


Line of the Day: “When your own arse was bare? Come, sir!” pg 361 (it was funny, sorry.)


Fact on the Fiction: “And finally, I believe in my whole race. Yellow, white, black, red, brown --in the honesty, courage, intelligence, durability....and goodness.....of the overwhelming majority of my brothers and sisters everywhere on this planet.” A quote from Heinlein’s Creed. ThisIBelieve
