The martian chronicles wasn't the only book bradbury wrote that commented on the "majority" in the theme. according to the following quote from fahrenheit 451, what other theme does bradbury create about the majority? if you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. better yet, give him none. let him forget there is such a thing as war. if the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. . give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn iowa grew last year. . then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. and they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. that way lies melancholy.
