But mostly, there's his utterly naïve, childish ultra-libertarianism.
FWIW: Heinlein wasn't a Libertarian as many people belive. Honestly. He was a member of either the Democrats or Republicans. (I don't know which, that information was never made public. He started out as a member of one of those parties, then realized he was in the wrong party and switched.) He even wrote a wonderful (non-ficiton) book on how to get involved in politics, and why you should do so. (Without actually going into the issues, this books is about the mechanics of how politics work. Town/City/Ward committees, structure within the party, phone trees, etc etc etc.) The inormation is a little dated (I think it was written in the 50's) but there is still a *lot* of good information. Regardless of your political beliefs.
If you're interested, I'll dig out my copy to pass the information on...
