A Modest Proposal...

The "opposition" are so confused by their position (that they are NOT the government) that they are constantly resorting to the most rediculous and juvenile attacks. It belittles politics; they forget that, as members of parliament, they are still part of the government.

BBQ? Although the author is right about yearlings as anything larger would not fit on the rotisserie.

HARPER EATS BABIES,and now we know why.
It's a matter of economics.

Texas Canuck,that's bad.

But if you're wont to do that... Don't name them,it makes it a tad more difficult to skewer it.

And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

I refuse to dignify this monstrous subject with a comment.

Civilized people just don't go there......

I dunno. Nothing like a yearling coming out of the oven with a little apple in its mouth. The other white meat. Unlike pork it doesn't even offend any religion and beats the hell out of soylent green cookies. Sustainable too. Jeffery Dahmer cook book has recipes going right into the teens but apparently yearlings are the best bang for the buck and PETA approved. Kosher or Halal available, but try for the drumstick. Mmmm, Mmm.

The link is genius, Mark.

Like SDA, Johnathan Swift got results - the British people were horrified and some relief for the Irish people was undertaken in Britain. Johnathan Swift left few stones (people and institutions) unturned in his Modest Proposal, it caught the King, the Church and the Parliament without clothes. Things changed because citizens were outraged.

A note that A Modest Proposal is not as shocking today as it was back in the late 1700's. Canadians/Chinese/Europeans/some American states/Russia... tolerate the slaughter of unborn children and have built clinics for the singular purpose of ridding society of unwanted people. The British masters in Ireland and Scotland did not justify outright killing of innocent babies, they just 'allowed' them and their parents to starve to death.

2012 needs a Johnathan Swift.

And then we import 7th century world-domination believers to make up for the shortfall. That is going to work out well.

Jema54, today you have to use puppies because children just don't tug on the heart strings anymore.

Remember that horse movie Spielberg just released? The horrors of war aren't horrible enough if its only people getting blown up, now the only really sympathetic character Hollywood can come up with is a HORSE.

Which I think says a hell of a lot more about Hollywood than it says about you and me.

Sadly, Phantom, you are correct.
