Though, no doubt, if Noreascon had been in New York and its list had mocked the Republican convention, it would have been hailed in liberal blogspace as a brilliant and witty critique of the GOP, and touted as proof of SF fandom's political awakening to proper Democratic principles.

Actually, I believe Roger Bacon in 1268 made the first mention of lenses used for scientific vision correction. Bacon also predicted that investigative science would one day lead to wonderful and marvellous inventions. As this discussion is taking place on an Internet weblog by means of incredibly powerful digital computing machines, it is safe to say that he was correct, and as a corollary, his statement about medieval eyeware was true, meaning that spectacles are perfectly medieval.

As for the assumption of people involved in SF/F isolating themselves from the world, this is proved absurd by the very environment of this weblog. After all, Mr. Nielsen Hayden makes his living as a SF/F editor, yet this blog is primarily considered with liberal/activist issues. Many of the commentators involved in SF/F in some way, yet comment vigorously on the various "real-world" issues.
