Texas has a
problem with two particularly destructive insects which,
although outwardly they LOOK like their productive,
non-destructive cousins, are bellicose, and tend to kill off
competitors, and in general, endanger the natural balance.
The first
animal is the "FIRE ANT" (imported fire ants)
Solenopsis invicta
(http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~gilbert/research/fireants/faqans.html.
Fire ants look very similar to other ants, but their
aggressiveness and intensity of the venom they inject with
an attack, makes them almost pathologically bellicose. When
they move into an area, they attack other, more peaceful
ants and kill them off, soon becoming the dominant ant in an
area,.
The other is
the so-called "KILLER BEE" or Africanized Bee.(Apis
mellifera scutellata). As with the fire ant, the killer
bee, although it looks outwardly very much like the European
bees that are more docile and produce honey commercially,
the warlike, territorially aggressive killer bee, tends to
move into an area, kill or drive off the other bees, and
become the dominant form of bee.
Interestingly,
the country from which both of these insects came from to
the USA, was South America..
The title of
this article is "AN EAGLE WITH ONLY A RIGHT WING CAN'T
FLY". The Eagle of course, is the United States. The
Congress is now dominated by just one party, and the
executive brance is rule by that same party.
Republicans
often may look like democrats, like a killer bee may look
like a European bee or a fire ant may look like another ant,
but, like these aggressive, predatorial insects, seem to
want to wipe out the opposition, and show little real
interest in co-existing, or working in a truly bipartisan
manner.
As with the
EAGLE, the United States needs BOTH wings, Right AND Left,
not only to fly at all, but certtainly to fly toward a
forward destination.
Anyone paddling
a boat only on the RIGHT, is never going to reach their
destination on the other side, but will instead, merely go
in a circle.
This country MUST head toward a
positive destination, and for that, we need BOTH wings!
