      Agreed. Also, fuck Orson Scott Card. He’s a pompous, misogynistic, homophobic, magic-underwear-wearing douchefuck. Oh, but don’t take my word for it, here you go: “According to science fiction author Orson Scott Card…recent court decisions in Massachusetts and California recognizing same-sex marriage mean “the end of democracy in America.” As such, he advocates taking down our government “by whatever means is made possible or necessary.” (original taken down, here’s a synopsis: http://www.afterelton.com/people/2008/7/orsonscottcard?page=0%2C0)  I don’t care how “super great” his Ender series is, I would rather remove my eye with a goddamn spoon than put any more money in that fucker’s pocket. Just saying.
