Eminent,
eminent people, one and all, members of the Society for the Prevention of
Fantasy, advocators of the banishment of Halloween and Guy Fawkes, killers of
bats, burners of books, bearers of torches, good clean citizens, every one, who
had waited until the rough men had come up and built the towns and repaired the
highways and made everything safe. And
then with everything well on its way to Safety, the Spoil-Funs, the people with
mercurochrome for blood and iodine-colored eyes, came now to set up their Moral
Climates and dole out goodness to everyone.
(from The Martian
Chronicles by Ray Bradbury)
