RE: Less meat, less heat A Modest ProposalAfter much pondersome consideration of the highly scientific data advanced by the European brain trust, I have concluded that although brilliant in its effectiveness, it would be cumbersome at best to manage and enforce. A much simpler and more controlled strategy is required. My Eureke moment occurred as I was in my darkest moment dreading the end of mankind..Let us without malice or animosity to any, unite as one force and simply destroy all animal species from OUR earth..What have toads or birds or monkeys, or dogs and cats, et al contributed to our society. They have never made steel or cars, nor have they ever taken up arms to help mankind destroy a segment of society that was troublesome or maybe had something we wanted. Hell animals don't even appreciate money..We could monitor the eradication of all heat generating organic systems quite easily..I am sure our valliant and heroic leaders could assure us of total victory over these enemies who threaten the advancement of humanity within two years. Of coarse there would be huge costs to equip our forces . If at the end of this campaign global heating was still a threat we would have to revert to plan B..If the future of society were still threatened then we, as the chosen , must radically change our inhibitions and adapt to the survival instinct we have within us ..If we look to how the fish; who used to polute and populate the earth, lived before we eradicated them, we will see what must be done to survive. Fish will eat anything including their own.. Such we must be willing do to survive..Less people equates to a food source and less heat . Consider the plump bodies who meat...excuse the freudian slip, I mean meet as our leaders...Where else can one find more bullsht and hot air. I'm sure they would be willing to sacrifice themselves as each has estolled their only consideration for the high position was to better society..They will finally make that contribution . I would think they will gratefully welcome the chance to be served...excuse again ..to serve the public. Culling of the out of balance human herd would continue until the crisis was averted..Mankind could then contnue on its rightful and glorious path of enlightenment and achievement...

Swift ) As a contributer to my awakening sense of this peril I thank Sir paul..McCartney..I wonder if his lifestyle has evolved to match his concerns...I bet he lives in a humble house and rides a bike now. or is he just another politically correct hypocrite. Just had to get that out of my system........................ Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year......Dusty
