...fact, the only thing on the list so far that I definitively oppose is Vegan/Vegetarianism (#32). I love meat...
...freshly-minted Class of 2012 may have been obscenely selective, but its members will curse their own good fortune when, as sex-starved sophomores, the absence of new transfer admits will lead to a complete lack of fresh meat. They will spend their senior year morosely re-reading their high school yearbooks and listening to the 2012 equivalent of Evanescence while sitting in the dark with the shades drawn.

Whaling is inherently inhumane, and these mighty creatures take an average of five to 30 minutes to slowly bleed to death, while others escape wounded to die at the ocean’s bottom...

"The raw meat in their mouths meant nothing to the wolves: only the murderous tearing of horseflesh mattered." More problematically, the book contains puzzling chunks in which Jiang details his pet theory: that thousands of years of farming have turned the Chinese into a spineless people who placidly accept direction from above...
