A politician that understands science is like a dog that plays the piano… it’s not how well he plays, but that he plays at all.
I read an anthology once that had a short story by him, set in an alternative universe where the South had won the Civil War. It was titled something like “What if the North had won the Civil War?”
He had probably just read War of the Worlds, and was thinking
“We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!”
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. — Winston Churchill
