So I'm not the only one who can no longer stand Heinlein?
The worst part is, when I was 16, one of my teachers tried to explain to me some of the issues in his work and I just didn't want to hear. Then a few years later, when I was on a rereading binge, I saw those and a million more besides. These days I'm rather sad that this guy's still considered one of the founding fathers of SF (that term really says it all!)
