I didn't care for the hook about legalizing fatal duelling. As much as you kept insisting you were only kidding, you continually hinted otherwise: "So while this is merely a satirical 'modest proposal' at this point, who knows whether it might end up being prophetic in the long run? It wouldn't surprise me in the least,..." It would surprise me, a lot. Along with being overgrown spoiled children, these very rich and egotistical men are physical cowards terrified of actually getting attacked or beaten up, much less shot to death. No one in that world is going to legalize allowing other people to take a clean shot at them, no matter how much they may hate and fear each other. It will remain in the media playground: "Did not!" "Did so!" "You're evil!" "You're eviller!" "That's not a word! My Dad says so!" "Yeah, well your Dad works for my Dad! I'll get him fired, you'll be sorry!" Etc., etc. And this is from the elite leadership corps of America's ruling class and leading political party.
