A Modest Proposal

1. He sounds critical and analytical and pretty negative, and logical.

2. His main argument is that we should raise children for eating purposes. He uses facts to make his arguments and repeats himself a lot.

3. He uses logic when he talks about all the facts such as, there are too many poor people, there is not enough food for everyone, and children are nuissances.

4. He says "all children are nuissances", when he talks of women being tired of their children in every case. This is a presumption fallacy.

5. My gut reaction was, This guy's Crazy! Although he uses logical material to credit his argument, my reaction was still the same after digesting it all.

6. I can't think that this is supposed to be taken literally. He may be trying to get people to value their children more. Perhaps he's trying to get across the point that we treat our livestock and property better than our children, and that shouldn't be.

7. Yes, people always justify their actions even if they have to make something up. "It feels so right!" Things like that.

8. Gut instincts definitely come into play.
