Always a good read. We read this recently for my British writers class. And really, if we disregard all moral concern for our fellow human beings, it just might work. -------------

I love how he refers to people as animals, cause thats truely what we are.
Also, the last paragraph where hes all like "Hey, if you start killing babies and eating them, leave me out of it, ill take no part in that." Haha, british literature was a good class, easy too, sucks that im leaving it in a week... ------------- ///AMG What? |

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; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a
fricasie, or a ragoust.

Yeah, Americans were the uncivilized barbaric English, by critisizing the Americans he was critisizing the English. ------------- ///AMG What? |
