After reading this piece (h/t to Lex for the pointer), which is an essay that basically says that Ray Bradbury accurately predicted today's America when he wrote Fahrenheit 451, I've decided that I either didn't read the book in high school and depended on Cliff Notes when I wrote my paper, or my memory is in much worse shape than I thought.  I highly recommend reading the essay, even though it'll make you feel guilty about watching TV.  At least until the next episode of Amazing Race comes on.
