Right now is a little tight. <br /> <br /> I noticed several typographical errors in this message, confirming the complaint about what comes from the official AA headquarters. Someone really should be proofreading for a more professional appearance.<br /> <br /> It's great that there were so many TV appearances, but how many of them were related to the sales of books by Dawkins and Hitchens?

It's freaking CHINA! Even if every single bible churned out of that place was bought for an entire YEAR, that's only 0.8% of the population. wow. It sure is popular over there. Not to mention the printing plant will probably be staffed by children. But I guess that's ok according to the Old testament.
