"People hate violence and will go on protest marches - 'end war' or 'don't hurt the animals’ - but when you ogle their girlfriend, socking you one is on the top of things to do… so illogical."

Ha! That's hilarious. And even more so because it's true. What an excellent choice for this contest. Irony is one of my favorite literary devices, and you've used it with delicate precision here.

lol.

Yes I totally agree with you!!! People will say save the whales or don't let animals be in the circus, but when it comes to children selling themselves on the street or the poor and hungry in our own neighbourhoods they turn a blind eye. You quote goes beyond beyond the reaches of just physical violence and war. Fantastic quote. Good Luck in the contest.

Glad to know some people do.
The original story goes into some more depth on the subject, it's a short story but I've packed a lot into the author notes (which is longer than the story).
Thanks for the read, comment and applause.

Yes, it's illogical, irrational, and very human. Sad too.

"is on the top of things to do"? Kinda confusing xD Try "Is on the top of the list of things to do."
I remember this story

Exactly! Don't they see it's a free market? Whatever happened to friendly competition?
