#30  I remember something from Ellison's Dangerous Visions anthologies about permitted sport killing. Maybe 'The Hunt'? Can't find it.

We Ate the Children Last-Yann Martel

A popular theme.

#28  Harlan Ellison is my go to guy, for realistic political sci fi

H. Beam Piper, Modesitt, Pournelle, and David Drake.

#27  Harlan Ellison is my go to guy, for realistic political sci fi. No utopian, intergalactic trade war bullshit or elvish beings sexing up humans for me.

It is rumored the maverick writer once punched James Cameron in the face because The Terminator storyline was plagiarized from two of his works. Cameron corrected that error and it now mentions him in the credits.

Read his 'Whimper of whipped Dogs', or 'I have no Mouth but I must scream' if you ever come across them.

#26  I'll be damned. Here's me thinking, "Crap, it's probably a great story, but I've never heard of that guy and don't read any modern scifi at all...," except I have read a few (maybe several?) of those RJ books. It's... shimmer shimmer... all coming back to me now... but where and when? No clue. Abject full-flight escapism, must've been. Gonna drive me crazy figuring it out. Anyway, I'll hold out for the story. Thanks, both of you.

#25  Hard enough for me.

#24  Nope. It's not from that series. Found a short film based on it...here. Foet

Though it can't hit as hard I'm sure.

#21  Anyone read the story Foet, by F. Paul Wilson ? It's about a new line of leather from babies, only for the very discerning rich buyer. It explores the socialite activist mentality so well.

#15  I dunno. It seemed a rather modest proposal compared to, say, giving up fossil fuels.

#13  The end to the madness on the left is inevitably going to be mass suicide, or possibly a form of suicide by cop/deplorable.

Everytime a president goes up for re-election the party in opposition goes a bit crazy, but the left has been ratcheting up the crazy time and again and I think they are very close to simply losing their grip en masse.

#10  Assume the woman was a hoaxer. In any event Cortez gave no push back on baby eating.

#9  Don't eat the babies. At least they still have a future.

Kill and eat yourselves. You are a lost cause and only use up the resources of the world.
