I read "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss yesterday evening to my 5-year-old. My wife had borrowed it from the library. I was expecting an amusing kid's book like "Green Eggs and Ham" (also by Seuss), but what I got was tiresome environmental, anti-business agit-prop. Ugh. Almost everyone on Amazon has given it 5 stars -- no wonder Obama is president.
I think the language in the book is dumb, too. Why invent words like "biggerer" (used repeatedly) instead of using the word "bigger".
It's too bad I need to screen children's books for political indoctrination. I wonder if there are sites where conservative parents have recommended books.

Come on now-- I don't believe a stupid prick like this reads books to his children.

Remember kids, it's not political indoctrination if it's conservative.

Just found something that explains why environmentalism is a generally good idea business-wise:

Actually, he's right, albeit in an insanely overreactive and out-of-touch-with-reality way. Seuss' later works do have a liberal ideology to them.
It's the kind of liberal ideology that it's hard to oppose, unless you're completely insane, but "all people are equal",
"destroying the planet for short-term gain is a bad idea" and "creating nuclear weapons wasn't the smartest thing humans ever did" are pretty much liberal ideals.
That's kind of why I'm a liberal.

Someone isn't capable of grasping "biggerer" concepts like environmental sustainability.
@ N. De Plume: That comic's brilliant. Thanks for sharing that.
