GOP Needs To Be Treated The Same Way You Treat A Black Widow Spider.

The GOP is proving how callous they are these days. They are also proving how deadly they are because every policy they gravely desire results in death or misery for someone. Whether is be against gun safety that results in massacres, anti health care that ends up costing Americans their lives, or their thirst for the carnage of war that results in the death of people on both sides of the conflict, have a remarkable ability to hurt anything alive.

What is even more remarkable is their ability to eat their own like a black widow. There is really absolutely no redeeming value in anything GOP these days. The fact that they have bamboozled a significant part of the population that keeps them in power is incredible.

Anyone who votes for the GOP simply has to be completely mentally disconnected to reality when you consider the end result of what they want to do. Even their supporters are engaged in a kind of kamikaze endeavor.

The latest GOP escapes in Congress proves how far they are willing to go. They are as deranged and paranoid as the DC shooter. They may not be using an actual weapon but they are using governing policy as a weapon. And that tactic is very bit as dangerous as a real automatic weapon. The real problem is that the carnage goes under the radar and unrecognized because the carnage is not so obvious. And the media does very well in covering up for them.

Having said that I have found no way to really move them to a safer better place. Even though they are one of the very few spiders I will snuff, I do it with some regret. Otherwise I try to move spiders in my home to other places where they can still survive.

What most people do not realize about some of the spiders we find in the home is that these creatures control other little creatures that inhabit the walls that we cannot reach. Unless you want to fumigate your home every week, there are many creatures that live with us we do not see.

As a culture we fail to realize that we are only part of the ecosystem and not necessarily the king of it. And out arrogance may cost us our survival unless we wake up.

I often encounter Black Widow spiders. I just shrug them off because if I miss them, I deserve what I get.

Rabid dogs, on the other hand...

That's a quick tune played with either a brick or piece of wood in the key of B-flat.

Most find no problems when played with spiders as your band mate and audience, but I suspect there'd be consequences if it was a piece you played with Republicans.
