I respect Ray Bradbury as a writer and because of that fact I also respect his opinion but this is a complete 180 from the excellent lessons that can be learned within his short stories and how freedom of expression and the ability to express it in writing without restrictions is very important. I think in his age he has become out of touch with how gloomy our society's current situation truly is because of the Bush administration's strange hold.

I think maybe he's forgotten the lessons that are included in his own book. I love his work, but some of his ideas are waaaay out there when it comes to politics and gender. Still, nobody is perfect.
