Re: Arthur C. Clarke dead at 90

Arthur was in my opinion a misunderstood genius. The difference between him and people like Rush limbaugh or george bush is that in my opinion he kept trying to see what humanity need to do to advance into the future. One of the stories about him that I've heard was that when 2001 came out the reviewers hated the film. After the film became a hit with the people, They had to re-review it again. Many of the reviewers panned it again. Some people just don't get it. I believe there will be a hole left with his passing. RIP Mr. Clarke.

That's kind of an odd comparison.... I would have said "between him and people like Matt Lauer or Maumoon Abdul Gayoom," but that's just me.

Man, Clarke & Robert Jordan gone in less than a year. What a shame.

RIP, thanks for many hours of enjoyable reading and endless pondering.
