Having Peter Singer edit Blackwell's Companion to Ethics is like having the Weathermen edit the companion to politics.

I was going to say Hitler, but Nazi jokes are just too obvious. And Singer's more of a moral anarchist in effect - more left-wing than right. Although his extreme utilitarianism is, in theory, not anarchic at all, but actually quite rigorous. Inhuman(e)ly rigorous.
