I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Maybe there should be a counter book, where the kids start a lemonade stand and their customers all die from the mercury in the water they used to make the lemonade. Then when they try to figure out where the mercury came from, a Bush Minion accuses them of disloyalty to Corporate American values, and sends them to Gitmo, sans trial.

That's seriously fucked up. And unfunny. No wonder we dominate entertainment.

Would you let your child read blatantly liberal stories with titles such as "King & King," "No, George, No," or "It's Just a Plant"?
Blatantly liberal? I'm so confused.

I think one is supposed to be a queer reference, one is supposed to be about the POTUS, and one is about (gasp!) ecology.

"It's Just a Plant" is about marijuana. It's the only one of those I've heard of.

Do conservatives hate trees?
Oh wait a second, no. I think "It's Just a Plant" is about marijuana.
Heh. X-post.
I didn't realize there were children's books about marijuana. The hell?

Ann, that's a ferret.
P-C, when I was in 5th grade or so, we had whole school units devoted to drugs and how dangerous they were. Including films narrated by the likes of Art Linkletter and Sonny Bono.
In short, propaganda that cared more about scaring us away from drug use than being accurate.
Or is It's Just a Plant pro-marijuana?
