Warehouse 13 is one of the very few SciFi with a gay character and the male lead is wicked hot.

Asimov, Heinlein, and the other greats from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Ever read Stand on Zanzibar, The Syndic, Gladiator at Law, etc. There are those of us oldsters who do have hope for the future and freedom, and we will vote for Obama.

Heck yea he is going after the youth vote. Im seeing the president speak here at Kent State university this Weds

the first time a president has spoke at Kent State since Howard Taft some 80 years ago. The lines were huge for tickets, waited at least 2 hours but well worth it!!
