Re: RAH Reading Group - Puppet Masters

I think the 1951 edition of RAH (the person) would have been appalled at the current state of education in America.

But then, I just got back from a gifted education conference. I and my kids thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (we had lots of friends there), but I am again reminded how marginalized bright kids have become in our education system.

No bearing on tPM, though.

Though I wonder if he really expected personal aircars in 2007.

OTOH, I think he would have been pleased at the "sexuality" freedom we now have, at least in my corner of the country.
