    Asimov, Bester, Clarke: now they're all dead and burning in hell. They should have written religious fiction, instead. Science fiction just encourages people to get interested in science, a.k.a. heresy.

    Oh please, spare us this shite about a black politician that's done nothing and will get nowhere once the "jigger for prez" novelty fades.

    Arthur C. Clarke was a pedophile who moved to a third world country so he could have an inexhaustible supply of little boys. He will not be missed by except by moronic left-wingers.
