I think it’s an exercise in using our intellect to determine if an article is true or satire. I admit to recognizing your’s as satire as I am a fan. And the resulting threads are a riot. I vote leave off the tags.

As do I!

I saw no /sarc tag on "A Modest Proposal" from the greatest satirist since the start of our Modern Era.

That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in the sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom; always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

Keep up the great work! [I think you're John-to-John channeling here]
