I mentioned to Yoshie offlist that I found the "Modest Proposal" series too 
depressing to read in its entirety, but I believe there was value in posting 
it.  To think that there is so much ethnocentric savagery clamoring for 
mainstream attention.  As I said to Yoshie, I have anticipated many vile 
turns of events concerning social devolution, but the unapologetic 
resurgence of imperialism by that very name I never foresaw.
