Hi! I'm here to answer all your questions about those oddball books you can't find. Looking for a title, but not sure if it exists? Wanting to know who the real author is on a book you're pretty sure was written under a nom de plume? Where the heck is that Stephen King story your favorite movie is based on? Ask away! |

I can't speak for Aerosmith's rich sense of historical irony, but what you're probably looking for is A Modest Proposal, by Jonathan Swift, in which he advocates the poor eating their children as a measure to stave off poverty, as well as decreasing the poverty/hunger level of the poor populace. It is a satire, but caused a major hullabub when it was published. I would like to state at this point I do not espouse the 'eat your young' viewpoint, unless we're talking about pretending to eat Baby's toes to get a giggle. That's what they're there for, right?

Someone told me that the Aerosmith song "eat the Rich" is actually based on an old essay by some English guy. What's going on with that? |
