Opus 2014-41: Link: Time to Get Ticked Off

It is Saturday morning and I am looking at my links.  It is a way to keep from working.  I found an interesting post at “Mostly Cajun” that draws an interesting parallel between what ticks do to a healthy dog and what human parasites do to our society.

Here is a sample,
“Ticks don’t care. all they want is a lifetime of free meals so they can produce more little ticks. ticks are rather short-sighted. they don’t know or care that they’re robbing the host, eventually weakening it and killing it. They just keep eating and producing more little ticks.”
Go read the rest if you like that.

  1. I suspect that little quote puts it in a nutshell quite well.

    1. It is amazing how much wisdom we could pull from the natural world around us it we would observe. I am not sure that people would think being called a tick is a complement though.

      Grace and peace.
