"In this book the philosophers Steve Nadler and Lawrence Shapiro will explain why bad thinking happens to good people. Why is it, they ask, that so large a segment of public can go so wrong in both how they come to form the opinions they do and how they fail to appreciate the moral consequences of acting on them."--Publisher's description.
“I hope no one reads this and expects an apology—they won't get one. I hope no one wants me to feel ashamed of my life—I don't. The best years of my life came while I lived the lifestyle of a biker. The best money I had ever made came from doing contract hits for Tony Martinelli, Toledo’s Mafia Crime Boss. What you are about to read is a chronicle of events during my life of crime and recorded by my daughter. Specific names, dates, and locations have been omitted for obvious reasons.” Mikey Thomas—Hit Man for the Mob
