I'm thinking the poor should feed their babies to the rich.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

Just sayin'.

And it's not even an original idea.

I bet the rich would really appreciate it.

1. Not in the culture of life!

In the culture of life they are enslaved.

Thats preferable to tender chops.

2. I'd love to know what brougth this on.

Where is the flame war? Let me at it!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

4. Oh it's just a modest proposal!

8. and done so Swiftly!

3. The rich wouldn't really appreciate it, they would bitch about

the lack of proper marbling of the meat due to the malnutrition of the babies.

The People should eat the rich. Now that's some good marbling, yum.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

5. Ah

now that my Sir, is an excellent idear.

9. You don't think babies are nicely marbled?

I do. I bet they are tender. But no rightie is gonna eat a baby...ok, well not a white baby. Im still voting they would enslave them.

13. Babies are mostly fat

though the good thing is they have very little gristle.

[Nag Champa]

14. That's very good information.

I'm putting it in my recipe box.

Thanks!

6. such a "Modest Proposal"!

wink wink nudge nudge

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

7. Yes

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...

10. Poor kids...it's what for dinner

11. Swift is getting more and more germane

to the national conversation and that scares me.

I watched The Bird Cage last night on TV and it had me in stitches more than usual for the political subtext.

[Tom Kitten]

12. It's Positively Funkadelic...

"America Eats Its Young"....

[Endangered Specie]

15. Well, thats very MODEST of you

;)

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

16. Well thank you

I thought of it quite swiftly, too.

Such a great solution....we just have to make sure they are papist babies.

HEY! All those Hispanic babies! YES!

Food for the rich! And at bargain basement prices, too!
