    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    End of an era. They don't write sci-fi like this anymore. His fiction was of emotion, hope, a future, and of humanity. Can't get much better than: Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, Martian Chronicles, Toynbee Convector. My favorites were his short stories. He will be missed.

    Great Sci-Fi writer.
    The world is a little less.
