A Modest Proposal That Lacks Modesty

The “Modest Proposal” was anything but modest if you were mislead just as I was. After just simply reading the passage looking no deeper than the words on the page, I was under the impression that cannibalism would be the key to survival. After reading this, I was disgusted and repulsed on the proposal alone. How could any human take life from innocent children for money, bargains, and food? This passage was all too disturbing. https://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Texts/modest.html
