Cancer Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 FWIW, I heartily recommend a book titled "Dr Seuss Goes to War", with his editorial cartoons from the pre-WW2 and early war years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Option: The Martians (The War of the Worlds) Title: The Pax of the Worlds: An Oral History of Martian Occupation As inspired by Winston Churchill: Look where you will, you will find that the British have ended wars, put a stop to savage customs, opened churches, school and hospitals, built railways, roads and harbours, and developed the natural resources of the countries so as to mitigate the almost universal, desperate poverty. I'd seen several quotes from the time period that justified Colonialism by saying it ended tribal wars. My favorite retort was "What do you call WWI and WWII?" So, now the Martians are less about Conquest of Extermination and more about Conquest of Colonization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! Did you write that? And I gotta say, the sniping here cheers my heart. I was afraid the literary world was too big and we'd never see a snipe, and it just isn't a good draft without one.
