Fashionable Fallacies (#1-2)
G. Stolyarov II

#1

Observe the bureaucrats’ position.
Monopolies they claim to hate,
And, by crusading abolition,
By grand, self-righteous imposition,
Seek competition to create
By
limiting said competition
And forging a monopoly, the state.

#2
The proponents of all things organic
Will lapse into a shuddering panic:
“One can never be sure
If a substance impure
Has seeped into this lab-furnished food.”

And yet, nevertheless,
They consume without stress
What by Nature was grown,
Composition unknown,
And all the more random and crude.
