Thanks, Liza!

  1. I love Science Fiction! I stumbled upon your Strugatsky brother's profile and in fact tonight Frank Herbert's Dune (directed by David Lynch) is showing, so that's why I'm writing this to you. Anyway I just read it and I was just wondering shouldn't they be borderline Jews since they had a Jewish Father but had a Russian Orthodox Mother? I don't see the logic? Why give them full Jew when only their Father was Jewish. Please explain. Thank-you. :)
