Ray Bradbury: Crotchety tea partier? That’s the impression you might get from his interview with the LA Times, in which he decries the government, the “Internets” and the state of space travel. “We have too many cellphones. We’ve got too many internets,” the Farenheit 451 author declares, “We’ve got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines.”
He expounds too on matters of politics. “I think our country is in need of a revolution,” he says. “There is too much government today.” And what should the government and Barack Obama be doing differently? “He should be announcing that we should go back to the moon. We should never have left there. We should go to the moon and prepare a base to fire a rocket off to Mars and then go to Mars and colonize Mars. When we do that, we will live forever.”
