"Hot House Flowers" -- racism for children
http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/

Jesus' General sums it up:

Criminal Court Judge John Wilson's "Hot House Flowers" warns of "effects of unregulated immigration" in a plot line about beautiful flowers that wither when dandelions sneak into their greenhouse.

...the flowers are saved at the end by a benevolent master who plucks out all the dandelions. The flowers learn never to let dandelion seeds grow in their greenhouse again.


And as usual, Jesus' General skewers 'em in his book review on Amazon. I was somewhat reassured to learn this guy Wilson had to use a vanity press to get published. What a moran!

1. a "benevolent master"?
Like this fatherly leader?





Well plucking weeds is very inefficient. Poison gas does the job quicker. Previous efforts to remove unwanted ethnic minorities in the 20th century have shown this.

4. Why, funny you should think of Hitler
Here's a tidbit from the readers' comments:

In the 1938 German book "Der Giftpilz," {"The poisonous Mushroom"), which warns German boys and girls about the dangerous Jew.
The more things change...

I wouldn't want some bigot using my band's name.

3. Probably not
They'd have to have registered the name exclusively for their use and, usually, a court won't uphold a coincidence of names if the subjects are in two vastly different areas.
