    Orson Scott Card is amusing and educational.

    I like:

    “This book should be required reading before anybody is allowed to vote.

    Not really. I think democracy absolutely depends on the continuing right of the ignorant and misinformed to make all the core decisions in our society, and I would never place a mandatory restriction like that on people’s right to vote.”
