Is SARCASM. And quite funny. The author of the book, Heinlein, actually was quite liberal while the book is so far right it is fascist. Of course it was sarcastic. The movie does a nice job showing the absurdity of a fascist state with nice tongue in cheek humor. The two sequels seemed to be the work of high school students.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
Thanks for clarifying the book (I never read it) and movie versions.
I don't know, fascism never seems to bring a smile to my face, even if wrapped in XXX celluloid.
Maybe I've no humor left, even Chaplain's Monsieur Verdoux couldn't get my funny bone to quiver.
(Is anyone yet man enough to film Heinlein's "Stanger in a Strange Land"?)
