mariminerey 's review for:

A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift
4.0

This was a fun little reread to remind myself of the "innocent, cheap, easy, and effectual" proposal that Swift made.

I was talking to a friend about the "let them eat cereal" movement as well as the CEO of Kellogg's saying that poor families should eat cereal for dinner when I was reminded of Jonathan Swift. I told them about a Modest Proposal and they found it ludicrous and said they would look into it themselves.
