    That blog post you linked to gives a pretty narrow view of Heinlein, and is absolutely rife with typical American puritanical-ness. The primary complaint seems to be that Heinlein writes a great deal about sex, which he does in some novels.

    Never mind that lots of people have lots of sex lots of the time, and Americans, even most (all?) on the Left react negatively to sex, which has always puzzled me.

    When will America get over this bizarre attitude towards sex?

    As for Heinlein’s tales, some are very good indeed, some are pretty bad, but most of the objections I see to all of them boil down to, “Wah! He wrote about sex I don’t like! Wah!”
