I read the plant thing, and my mind was substituting in "women" and "rape" for "plant" and "water". It was just a parody, and I was already getting angry. I'll be sure to avoid these books unless we're out of kindling.

Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963

I have never had the misfortune to read a Gor novel, but from what I've heard, it sounds an awful lot like the society of early Indo-European nomads (4000-3000 BC), only with the exception that men ride eagles instead of horses.
