Sarcasm ON:

Right.  Teach 'em science using Bradbury's mystical bullshit and ubiquitous
sacrifice of anything resembling fact in favor of style.

Sarcasm  OFF.

Question: What's your major, literature?  If you advocate using Bradbury to
help teach science, you pretty clearly know nothing about science.

Disclaimer:  Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS.  That's what I get paid for.  My
understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
