I think many people get the ref. I haven\'t read it, but few people haven\'t heard of it. It comes up often enough. There was \"Another Modest Proposal\" in the USA abortion arena about using aborted fetuses (I know it should be feti) for medical research. It\'s such a part of our culture I didn\'t think it needed explaining.
Or perhaps I was wrong and we\'re all becoming a bunch of uneducated buffoons who don\'t know anything that doesn\'t involve a bunch of ordinary people voting each other out of the prize.

Hell, vince, I wasn\'t saying that people didn\'t get the reference - I was saying that most people I know hate to admit that they\'ve read that particular peice of Mr. Swift\'s genius - It is a rather disturbing thing to read when you actually realize what he\'s talking about doing.

Course I could be wrong and we could be looking at the long cultural slide everyone else is complaining about.lol

Two or more minis rejected by this process will mean that you must go before the official submissions board before you will be allowed to submit anything further.

All fear the venerable coffin-dodger council.

A fair warning to some.
As someone who has seen/heard much a sarcastic remark from dauber, I\'d like to say...
DON\'T POKE THE BEAR!!!

Personally I like it when people use sarcasm to weed out the people who act like they use their chair as a paintbrush holder while sitting on it (forgive my brutish american humor).

I\'ve seen too many people that actually think that they are the painting god.

Heehee, I like your brutish American humor lol

Swift, that does give new meaning to the name of my main character of my comic. I had to go back and change the name of my main character in my last comic when I discovered it was also a slang term for a vagina

You know, I was wandering through my local grocery store today and noticed products in the meat aisle from \"Swift\" meat packing - made me kinda sit back and think, especially since it was pork products.

Aryanun - Thanks for the link. I was too lazy to look it up.

Steelcult - I got the reference immediately and according to everything I have read we are a quite tasty race.

Vincegamer - You are wrong! As you have supposed the focus of the world is on self and such literary genius as Swift has no place in society. Twain just got banned from another school district for accurately depicting 1800\'s black Americans. And I heard some womens lib group got a quote changed so that it was PC. Changing history - I was tought that changing history was one of the things that Russia did that was most unspeakable. Someone said something against the land and they and the history they made disappeard.

Dauber - Nice satire!

Actually, everything I have read says that you have to cook long pork just right or it tastes horrible -and you definately do not want to eat it raw. But in popsicle form its not supposed to be to bad - Course now if its me I want to crash with the planeload of lifetime vegan soccer players - never having eaten meat they won\'t taste of it. lol
