The author, sadly, is actually serious. In fact, he made a somewhat whiny post on MyDD the other day about how liberal bloggers aren't promoting his book enough. I replied to him by quoting Thich Nhat Hahn's third precept:
Do not force others, including children, by any means whatsoever, to adopt your views, whether by authority, threat, money, propaganda, or even education. However, through compassionate dialogue, help others renounce fanaticism and narrowness.
