Landmines of the Mind: 1500 Original and Impolite Assertions, Surmises, and Questions about Almost Everything (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595467341)

Sample these observations:

• So many religions out there! Religious affiliation is a lottery ticket. The winning ticket, if there is one, will be announced in the hereafter, if it exists.
• In a single male ejaculation, there are some 100 million sperm cells. Since each cell carries a slightly different genetic makeup and would create a different person, each human being who ever lived won the lottery of life at odds of 100 million to one. And yet people complain of bad luck.
• In a traditional, theocentric society, the four values of love, marriage, sex, and procreation come as part of a single package.We moderns have unwrapped the package and disassembled the toy.
• Statements like "I really love you!" and "You are beautiful!" are entrance fees.
• The Pill made prudence prudery.
• Humankind does not deserve itself.

If you enjoy these, another 1500 like them await you in LANDMINES OF THE MIND. Sometimes amusing; often shocking; always thought-provoking.
