The Modest Proposal was extremely ridiculous. Did Jonathan Swift really think that people would start eating their babies to make the economy better? I mean, this guy was crazy! I don't think you can get much crazier than that, but the proposal I found comes close.

--> I don't know about you, but I think they should keep the breast milk for the infants who need it. I'm sure Swift would agree with me considering babies with meat on their bones are "the best to eat." Creep!

Amazing. I think they were trying for an adverse reaction, to equate cows milk to human milk but again those poor mislead bastards over at PETA have screwed things up again. Instead of grossing people out they just made them selves look crazier than usual (no easy feat). I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate PETA.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...I don't hate PETA, but they can certainly be ridiculous. Meanwhile, I wonder about the line between "ridiculous" and outright malignant. Indeed, it seems as if an idea can start out as something incredibly far fetched and quickly develop a life of its own. Too many people come to regard as serious or plausible things that at the outset seem totally incomprehensible.
