So as long as the marriage is between male and female - even if it's one man and 32 women (some of them underage girls who didn't want to marry) - it's OK, but if two people of the same sex want to marry it's grounds for a revolution? sigh.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
A few years ago he also had the audacity to write, in essence, that gays *can* marry...people of the opposite gender. So what's the problem?
What a fucktard.
Aims has a good idea that I think we'll do. We're going to mail him his books back with a nice note explaining why we can no longer stomach his shit in our house.

Can you send them with insufficient postage, so HE has to pay for them? (I get evil on Mondays)

That was my first thought!

You can also send them back with the covers removed, ala remaindered books that no one gives a shit about.

Even the hardcovers?

If you remove the covers (a la remaindered books), be sure to enclose a copy of this poem: [link]

I can't remember what they do with hardcovers. Probably just remove the dustjackets, but I don't know. I could, however, find out.

Because books.
The covers are removed to save postage, actually--rather than a store sending back the whole book, they just send the covers. I bet the dust jacket *is* what gets sent for hardcovers, Barb.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Mass market paperbacks and magazines are the only remainders where only the front cover gets sent back. The rest they send back the whole book. At least that is how it was done at the bookstore I worked at.
