Really? Hmmm. I've never read any Heinlein, never was much into sci-fi, I 
read War of the Worlds in 4th grade, scared my self half to death and 
haven't picked up another sci-fi novel since, unless you count some of 
the stuff Vonnegut writes as sci-fi, but I perfer to think of it as satire.
Sci-fi is one of the scariest genres because there's always a chance, 
however slight, that the stuff in them could happen.

Hmmmm. I wouldn't be too sure about that. Maybe I am, pulling the wool 
over someones eyes is such fun. ;). Most of the poetry I write is like 
that one I posted, sarcastic, tongue in cheek stuff. Oh I have writien 
some sincere poems, but I never liked them as well. :)
