Anyone not familiar with "A Modest Proposal" will be left in a state of shock as they read Swift's solution to the problem.
"A young healthy child, well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout."
Since I participate in writing prompts, I felt compelled to do a satirical essay on how the Obama Administration can take steps to make healthcare reform more efficient and cost effective. While my essay is not as shocking as Swift’s, I thought I came up with a few surprise solutions.
Then I started thinking that my solutions were not so far-fetched after all - and that I should look at what newspapers to send it to. After I send it out, I will publish it here.
After writing outlines with three subject matters in mind - "Domestic Abusers", "Adultery", and "The Morals of a Mistress" - I am preparing to write the satirical essays, presenting my solutions with solid arguments - on these societal dilemmas.
My expertise, if you will, on these subject matters, comes from my first-hand knowledge and experience.
