    From the article: "Be warned. If this is how overgrown that playground of live-and-let-live nonconformists, geeks, and weirdos known as science fiction has become, how long before all the fields and gardens of civilization are smothered by this tangled and malodorous weed of terror, accusation, and thought police?"

    I can't imagine a more individualist group than Heinlein, Orwell, even Wells -- but collectivism has even overcome that group. I think it's time we re-think the term 'sheep' and maybe start using 'coyotes' or 'hyenas' to describe the populace that's inherited the epitome of individualism.
