Ditto on the Heinlein. :mrgreen: Reading "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" and "Friday" in your early teens will have that effect. That's probably why I really wouldn't much care if polygamy was legalized, but I've learned to keep my thoughts on that subject to myself around my fellow Southern Baptists.
My first Heinlein book was "Stranger in a Strange Land", which weirded me out enough in the last half to sort of ease the persuasive effect he might have had. I saw the polygamy in "The Moon is a Harth Mistress" as more about people adapting to their environment than of having become a more universally desirable society.
Then again, I read those two in my late teens, not early teens.
