On Satire

Satire is perhaps the greatest form of literature ever to be conceived by man. In fact, the idea that any other form of writing could ever be used to bring about change is totally preposterous. I will here list three reasons why satire should be used by all writers from this point forward.

1. While some would say that satire crosses the line of good taste at times, that appears to me not a legitimate concern. Why would you worry about offending those who are offending humanity and society? I say, offend others as they have offended you.

2. Satire is entertaining. Never is satire disturbing or over the top. It always provides a delightful reading experience sure to please both young and old.

3. In satire, exaggeration is accepted and praised. Never is it viewed as untruthful and biased. Anways, if a person feels wronged, they have a right to present the story as they see it. Why worry with the facts?

So, my fellow classmates, from this moment forth; I exhort you to use satire to it's full extent. Follow the example of Swift and Voltaire and satirize the world!

(And just in case you were wondering, yes, this is in fact a satire on satire!)
