I used to be a Bradbury fan but he lost me forever when I read an article many years ago asking celebrities what they would change about the world and his response was, in effect, "I wouldn't change anything, I'm having a great life." He then went on to add (again paraphrasing) "I know there are children dying in Viet Nam  but that's not my problem." I have literally never read another word of his prose since then.
