Vultures |
One morning I saw a group of turkey vultures devouring a dead deer on
the side of the road. Some crows joined in the mix, and the feeding
frenzy took hold; they scrapped and battled with each other for the
remaining morsels of deer flesh. The relentless pecking, the desperate
squawking, the obsessive focus on getting their share . . . it was
quite a scene.
Later that day, I witnessed something nearly identical . . . when some
leftover buffalo wings from a company function were left in the break
room.

I saw the essential same thing too...the day after John Wayne died. The
carcass desecration of America goes on even to today...

I see this all the time. Instead of a deer it is lakefront
property.....water rights....exploitable resourses....a woman walking
alone down a city street.....
the opportunity to move production to China.....any singer with
talent......and so on.
