Apparently Philip José Farmer died this morning (via boingboing). Farmer has been one of my favorite (Up there with William Gibson and Kim Stanely Robinson) SciFi authors for some time, his Riverworld series is arguably one of the best efforts in world building ever, and is a wonderful widely allusive piece in it’s own right.
I’ve heard it advanced in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way that people go to whatever afterlife they believe in; if so I’ll see you at the grailstone “Peter Jairus Frigate“

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism – ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.
