Some words from Kurt Vonnegut's 'Timequake':
"...Dillinger robbed only the rich and the strong...(he) wasn't a simpering, sly swindler. He was an athlete.
In the slavering search for subversive literature on the shelves of our public schools which will never stop, the two most subversive tales of all remain untouched, wholly unsuspected. One is the story of Robin Hood. As ill-educated as John Dillinger was, that was surely his inspiration: a reputable blueprint for what a real man might do with life.
...
And another, as disrespectful of established authority as the story of Robin Hood...is the life of Jesus Christ as describes in the New Testament."
