Spot the Not #145 - Robert Heinlein

All the following are real quotes from him except one. Can you Spot the Not?

1. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

2. An armed society is a polite society.

3. Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping, and unintelligent.

4. Being intelligent is not a felony. But most societies evaluate it as at least a misdemeanor.

5. Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.

6. The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak.
