Ladies and gentlemen of the Tofu Ghetto...

Please have a read of a good teaser:

Sorry. I wanted to read the book before posting about it. Heck with it, though...

1. That looks intriguing
I checked to see if my library system has it but the title isn't coming up. They obviously don't even have it on the horizon :-(. If they don't get it in a reasonable amount of time I might have to resort to buying the title (as if I need more excuses to feed my addiction to books ). :-)

2. interesting critique. I am drawn to the last paragraph,
"One of the main defenses against predators by animals without physical defenses is living in groups," says Sussman. "In fact, all diurnal primates (those active during the day) live in permanent social groups. Most ecologists agree that predation pressure is one of the major adaptive reasons for this group-living. In this way there are more eyes and ears to locate the predators and more individuals to mob them if attacked or to confuse them by scattering. There are a number of reasons that living in groups is beneficial for animals that otherwise would be very prone to being preyed upon."
:eyes:
Could this possibly be an interpretation of the revolution of republican-style mass mind-set style koolaid-driven thinking patterns? Like the sheeple theory?
