An open plea to poli sci authors

Stop being "clever" with your titles, okay? In a single day I saw these three books grouped together, each from different authors and publishers:

FROM POLITICAL WON'T TO POLITICAL WILL: BUILDING SUPPORT FOR PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE

FROM SOCIAL SILENCE TO SOCIAL SCIENCE: SAME-SEX SEXUALITY, HIV & AIDS AND GENDER IN SOUTH AFRICA

FROM THE SLAVE TRADE TO 'FREE' TRADE: HOW TRADE UNDERMINES DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE IN AFRICA

What next? "From Democracy to Mediocracy?" "From Liberty to Library?" "From White House to Outhouse?" Just...no more.
