I say massive FF, despite his criticisms of Christianity and belief in authoritarian government.  He had it exactly right when he said that life without government would be "solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short." 

Plus, he had great facial hair! Smiley

Oldies put up the quote that is one of my favorites of all time. FF. The man had no illusions.

FF. He tried to make something of his pessimism.
