Kids say the darndest things.

So do political extremists, religious fringe-dwellers and a whole host of other people, their incendiary views ably reproduced here.
Everyone from serial killers to surrealists, Marat to Meir Kahane.

How has the human race managed to survive as long as it has with such whack-a-doos running about?
Funny how these GoodReads thingies always seem to just list one author. This bk is a collection of Rants: "Voices of Desperate Illumination 1558 to Present" edited by Bob Black and Adam Parfrey. It's published by Amok Press & Loompanics - from the days when Parfrey was still associated w/ Amok before he split off & created Feral House. This is a thorough collection from an eclectic group.
