Just discovered his book "Take back your government", and was surprised to find
him so much in favour of political parties.

Cheers,

Ron.

Ron, this may be better discussed on the mandrake OT list, we are still
over there...
Heinlein was almost fascist, and believed if you did not serve in the
Military, then you did not deserve to vote.
see you over on the OT...

Its been years since I'd thought of that list.

What's the sign-up addy?

Grovellin apologies, sent this to the wrong list ( was aiming at another non-
mandrake OT list)

Sorry again,

Ron.

see you over on the OT...
If you wish to discuss Heinlein you may also want to discuss L. Ron
Hubbard. And no I'm not a Scientologist. Not even close. But discussion
should take place elsewhere. Perhaps I should find Mandriva OT list
tomorrow. And to show what a DA I can be I assume you are talking about
Heinlein the scifi writer. If not then training and education is
required. And I don't have a problem with that.

It's Mandrake OT, not Mandriva OT - it started when Mandriva was
still Mandrake, and it's not an official Mandriva list so we voted
not to change the name. Subscribe here:

I was just about to unsubscribe from this list and the newbie list
when I saw your message. Not much point staying subscribed to lists
for a distro that I don't use.

The rest of us are here: http://www.mageia.org/en/ (for info) and

Thanks Margot, so these lists are dead then. Will keep my subs alive until I
move my server box away from mdv 2001.1 and the laptop from 2010.2. in case
something comes up here.

I would hang on as I have been following the Cooker Branch of Mandriva
2011 and it looks like it will be very good. It is also changing its
interface similar to Ubuntu with Unity and Fedora with Gnome 3. I am sure
that there will be ways to change it to more familiar ways of operating.
