Charles W. Sasser - Going Bonkers: The Wacky World of Cultural Madness

Over the decade during the research for and writing of this book, I have been encouraged, influenced and supported by a great number of people, either person-to-person in discussions and interviews or through many books and publications. Quite obviously, not all the ideas, anecdotes and thought for or in this book are original with me. A considerable number of people are beginning to recognize the cultural insanity that has infected our society and, breaking with it, to raise their voices. I should like to acknowledge the following people and publications, in no particular order of importance, who and which have greatly influenced the writing of this book. I realize this is only a partial list, so please forgive me if I have overlooked or neglected anyone.

If, however, as must be occasionally true in a work of this scope, I have made minor errors of interpretation or fact, I must bear the full responsibility...

Charles W. Sasser

I have been drinking the middle third of my early morning urine for almost twenty years and feel that it has enhanced my well-being. Along with a regular hatha yoga practice and a healthy vegetarian diet, drinking ones urine can truly improve your health. It is an easy, cost-effective adjunct to a healthy regimen. Once you overcome the cultural bias against pee, you will find that it is not at all unpleasurable to the tastein fact, its quite palatable. It becomes another morning bathroom habit, like washing and brushing your teeth.
