Let me summarize the thread (with additions):

If I may attempt to summarize the actual book.

People drowning puppies is a bad thing, kittens are nice.

Obviously kiwi fruit is far more an important issue to some than 150 countries known to use torture.

I'm doubting that bit about the kiwi, and if they pulled one number out of their arse, they might as well have done it with another.

And as for the rest, yes it's sad, if it's correct, but the fact that the kiwifruits and them trademark things were in there degrades the entire thing.

Maybe you really should have put this in Talk Club.

As for me critisizing religion, well, I'm sorry if I stepped on any toes.

I never really thought of things like that before, JP.

I guess, in a small way, that book actually has changed the world.

Gee willikers.

Obviously, the author was not altogether in possession of the myriad conatations of the word "puppies".

Drown her puppies in what? On second thoughts, I don&#39;t want to know.

Is this book selling? I can&#39;t say I have seen it in the bookshops. Or is it going to be one of those coffee table books designed to stimulate intelligent after dinner conversation without ever actually opening the thing?

On a separate note, although not a fan of Rap, I do like the song "Mass Destruction" by a band called Faithless. It covers many of these issues in an all together more immediate way (quite a catchy tune too).
