A Modest Proposal

Now I've heard about cannibalism but to eat your OWN children! No! I understand the author describing how these little monsters (children) are good for nothing and just wear their mother down but this is outrageous. The more I read from A Modest Proposal the more disturbed I felt. 

 "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends....and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day" 

I don't know how I feel about this. Personally I think that this goes by so many morals and responsibilities of being a parent. However some of these people aren't parents yet they do know how to feel as a child. To even think of eating children sounds terrible and barf worthy. 

"I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs."

Roasting pigs and roasting children is completely different! This is some weird type of fetish that needs counseling. Maybe back in the 1700s when food was a big deal would this may have been considered but not actually acted upon. 

Sorry guys but I can't deal with this child pedo fetish, sorry Mr. Author (Mr. Jonathon Swift). No hard feelings, eh?

"The Right to your Opinion" is by far very educational. I suppose I always thought that I had the right to my own opinion, meaning no one could change my mind since it is my opinion yet I can now say I'm wrong. "The right to your opinion " by Jamie Whyte actually means that you don't have the right to your opinion. Well, you do have the right but it doesn't always mean it's right. The main message of the reading was that you do have the right to your opinion but we, the people, also have the right to deny and "edit" your opinion.
