We now have decades of widening income and wealth inequality in the US. But, in my lifetime, the worst inequality has been that of power. Of course, money and power go together – as Robert Reich often observes.

I think that we are rapidly approaching the tipping point at which the underclass (most of us) must address the inequality. The French did that to their aristocracy during the French Revolution. I’ve been pondering the issue this evening, and the guillotine does not seem an appropriate solution. In my cogitations, I have concluded that the poor must eat the rich.

I propose that we prepare them as carnitas; human flesh has oft been described as long pork by groups that practiced cannibalism, after all. I’m not very keen on carnitas, by the way, but Susan loves them. Perhaps if we put them in enchiladas and smothered them in a sauce of tomatillo or perhaps mole, they would be edible – providing both nutrition and justice in bite-sized form.

Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but Justice should be served with a tasty sauce, I think.
