Produktbeschreibung

"It is my duty to report that these recent events are not something that this administration or any other previous administration was prepared for. We have elaborate and extensive contingency plans in place for terrorist actions, natural disasters, nuclear meltdowns, nuclear wars, race riots, class warfare, but we were not prepared for the pervasive spread of compassion towards other species." So says the President of the United States in "The Plague (or There Goes the Neighborhood)," one of several short stories in this unique and witty collection that answers a plethora of questions that may not be on the forefront of everyone's mind; for instance, What if a national state of emergency was declared because of an outbreak of compassion?

Other intriguing questions whose answers can only be found by reading Curious Musings of a Compassionate Mind include,

- Why are residents of earth voluntarily being beamed up to a giant spaceship and then unceremoniously dropped to the ground?

- What if all it took to save the life of an animal was to somehow switch bodies with the #1 tennis player in the

world?

- What if the new French restaurant in town was hijacked on opening night . . . by vegans?

- How does an English professor wind up living in a van with five cats, four of them geriatric?

- How does a sweet-natured 15 year old boy, the grandson of a timber baron, wind up getting spaghettified?

- Why are people suddenly "going poof" again, and what does that even mean?

Unlike the President of the United States noted above, there is nothing to fear . . . compassion has yet to take over the world. But, perhaps these stories will help move the process along.
