In nature, a vulture cleans up the dead, decomposing things that have died or been killed.
In politics, a vulture reaps a fortune from the deaths of others: the deaths of innocent Iraquis, the deaths of innocent Afghanis, the deaths of our own soldiers, the deaths caused by toxic “medicine,” toxic food, polluted air and poisoned water…
A lot of people argue about the Right Wing versus the Left Wing as if one were virtuous and the other were corrupt, as if they were fundamentally different from each other.
But those are just two wings on the same vulture.
We'd better stop focusing on the wings and concentrate on the whole bird.
