Weird!
I am scarred... The Modest Proposal turned out to be the Weirdest Proposal! I guess he does a really good job getting his point across, but why such an awkward fashion. If I picked up a pamphlet in that time period and that is what it said, I would seriously go lock my doors. I do have to give him props for supporting it to such extent. Besides his little, built-in mockeries on different groups of people, he does a really good job supporting the idea. But nonetheless, that is creepy.

I don't think you can really say what your reactin would be in that day. The fact that you havn't read some of his previous works, you arn't living in the culture, I think your reaction would be VERY different than what it would be now.
