At this point, given the price of meat, the only conceivable solution is that we start butchering our politicians. In times of crisis, we can’t afford sentimentality, though how some can become attached to our politicians, I’ll never know. However, the point remains that human life must take precedent.
Now, I know that there has been much prior debate as to whether politician is fit for human consumption. It is certainly not my first choice. However, it seems to me an anecdote about holy water might suggest a solution to the problem. Holy water, as some may know, is made by a process of boiling, that is, the priests boil and boil and boil the water until they boil the Hell out of it. If this can be accomplished with water, I think a long enough process of boiling could eradicate all the hellishness of politicians, though what that would leave us with, if anything, can only be discovered by practical experiment.
I have used the word politician here, but of course that is merely a synecdoche. There is a vast panoply of wild and dangerous creatures currently preying upon us—there is a whole menagerie of bureaucracy which, instead of doing what is called serving the poor which is the engendering of poverty, might very well be served to the poor—they ought to be fat enough by now.
