Yay - A Book Burning!

Sometimes, the only reasonable thing to do with a book is burn it. Ellyn vonHuben, despite her regrettable lack of judgment in the Springsteen matter, did the Right Thing(TM) with a children's book about Margaret Sanger, Every Child a Wanted Child. The mind boggles. How about The Little Aryan's Big Book of Jewish Cooking?

An amazon search revealed the author: Nancy Whitelaw. A google search reveals more from Ms. (no doubt) Whitelaw, including the precious Joseph Stalin: From Peasant to Premier.

Sound like contest time. Can you come up with a children's book as odious as "A biography of Margaret Sanger, the indomitable fighter for birth control and a feminist who asked women to take responsibility for their freedom" (suitable reading for ages 9 and up)?

Update: on second thought, maybe a contest of grotesqueries isn't such a good idea. There's a surfeit of the grotesque on the net.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
