This is so funny to me that Heinlein has provoked such a vociferous debate. I actually liked Citizen of the Galaxy when I read it back when, must have been about junior high. In fact maybe I will go back and read it again. I recall that I did not care for a lot of his other books I read: Starman Jones, Starship Troopers, Have Space Suit—Will Travel, Stranger in a Strange Land, not because of any thing about his views. I just thought these were silly.
