So I've had a thought and though it's different than the song implies, I felt the flavor suited my thinking best. I have a proposal of sorts to the wealthy and those who wish to deny the less fortunate any opportunity to thrive. Why play these ridiculous games?
The planet cannot continue to support this many people. Rather than locking up and turning off their heat, why not start farming the less thans?
Jonathan Swift suggested just eating babies in his essay "A Modest Proposal." I say, why stop there? Many wealthy people have made it clear that they feel the poor are a nuisance So why not remove the problem? Start with prisoners. They're "bad," after all.
Then I suggest farming the homeless. Oh, first you get them off the street to fatten them up for some nice marbling. Then anyone who's ever been on welfare or government funded disability income. Grandma might not be so tasty, so feed her to the younger poor.
A committee will need to be formed to figure out who to eat and who might be too toxic. Perhaps made up of former prison guards?
Removing the weakest links will strengthen the offspring of those at the top. No more need for tax increases to pay for any entitlements. Much of that farmland that we use for cattle and corn can be turned back into natural habitat.
The privileged can make their human cattle perform a limited farming duty on the land that remains. After all, potatoes and a nice salad go well with meat.
This will take a few centuries to accomplish as there will be some who may resist. But once it's in full swing, the rest of the life on the planet will have time to recover. Then the progeny of the powerful can reap.. or rape... the benefits of less people using up resources.
I feel my rational, suggestions serve a valid argument. Should your views, differ, state them plainly.
If you take this as a serious proposal, I think you should possibly be the first to graze the future pastures.
Kind comments welcome.
