Count on Sal "(Alleged) Goat Sodomizer" Cordova to come through with a ne plus ultra of a quote mine:  
Quote

Dahmer was into cannibalism.
He got some support from a professor at Vanderbilt who wrote the book: Compassionate Cannibalism. Below is a delicious quote from this professor. She redifines the meaning of “consuming passion”.
 
Quote

We assume that cannibalism is always an aggressive, barbaric and degrading act,

But that is a serious over-simplification, one that has kept us from realizing that cannibalism can have positive meanings

The book in question?  Consuming Grief: Compassionate Cannibalism in an Amazonian Society.  An ethnography. First published in 2001.  7 fucking years after Dahmer was DEAD.
