OK, I broke out laughing. Any particular reason you brought up that Anthology. Cuz it sounds like a good title for your sig line picture
"Love Trumps Hate."
"You Facist, Sexual Predator!"

My first Ray Bradbury book. That is my first, and best memory of his skill at writing.

I was just joking. Mine was "R is for Rocket". Took it out of the school library in about 1965, then I read everything from him and every other Sci Fi author I could find
"Love Trumps Hate."
