The summer we should all remember Robert Heinlein, science fiction's Grand Master, who through his books was many things to many people. Of his books he said, the "are and invitation to think-not to believe." Of his work Brian Doherty wrote, "his work appeals to that eternal youthful question: How should you live as you grow into a culture you did not make?" Heinlein left libertarians many useful quotes that have become part of our culture over the years. Only three are printed below.

"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him."

"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."

"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."

--Robert Heinlein
