20th is using the new establishment definition of "fascist" Parz--much the same as the Communist use of "counter-revolutionary." It means anything unacceptable to them.

As for the "laughable" enlistment of people old enough to have children of military age--in wartime, no less--20th, when you're done with your study of Iwo Jima, you might want to read about states really up against it. A 30-year gap between youngest and oldest recruit isn't even uncommon. My father had men in his boot company 25 years older than he was, and he was on the winning side. And any old soldier has his stock of stories about running into people known from somewhere else.

TMP. Obviously not illiterate. And I'm not sure what constitutes a "non-reader." But my impression is that most of us spend more time watching fiction on TV than reading fiction, and have for decades. Apart from votes, watch the discussion on both SF Books and adventuring spacecraft. Generally, the discussion goes on as though there were no such thing as the printed word. So, as I said, I will not repeat the mistake in future poll suggestions. That too, I think, is "reasonable."
