I was disappointed with that book too. Hell, the things that make it so socially taboo then wouldn't be a scratch on the surface now. But a kid SMOKING?@!?!

This book would have gone the way of joe camel if it were released these days.


Anyway, my point stands. I don't think talk radio or conservtive books are to blame when some individual sick fuck does something stupid. The same with video games and school shootings. The same with heavy metal and suicide. The same with Beatnik poems and homosexuality. The same with hippy music and drugs. etc etc.
