I think, in the long run, Bradbury will win out...at least the earlier Bradbury...

Lennon runs alone. I think he'll lose his way down the road of history...

I believe they'll both always be remembered and hopefully cherished.

Imagine all the people living their life in peace...Not war, WMD's, threats, lies and other nasty things...

When war stops, threats stops, WMDs stop, violence stops, etc., it will be when each person has a heart full of kindness, love, and compassion. Until then, we often require force to defend the rights and lives of men and women.

I think that the best prove for the fact that Bradbury is "bigger than Lennon" is Bradbury LIVES SO LONG - he is 84 now and seems to be healthy and full of energy.

Lennon was sometimes evil. Remeber his "How do you sleep?" - it is very angry. Maybe that is why he was shot in 1980? The fate is not kind for agressive people.

Anyway, i love them both...

Imagine there's no heaven...
Imagine MARS IS HEAVEN...
Imagine THE MAN walking from planet to planet...

That's kind of blaming the victim, but it's said that what goes around, comes around...and Lennon's life certainly demonstrated violent aspects and promoted ideas leading people into negative lifestyles such as drug use. He may have given up those ways towards the end of his life, but many others were not so lucky.

What do you mean? Tell that to Jesus?

Mr. Dark:

If we decide to argue and debate every foe that steps foot here we'll wind up a little goofy ourselves. After this latest barrage of mosquitoes, it'd be nice to have some bats that, I understand, eat mosquitoes. How would we go about finding bats?
