I watched Lord Of War, the Nicholas Cage movie, this weekend. In one of the scenes, he's in a plane full of weapons, and it has to land on some deserted road in Africa. Anyway, through a turn of events he is handcuffed and made to sit by the plane for 24 hours. During that time, the locals come and strip the airplane. They showed it in a time-lapse video, all the little people scurrying to and fro stripping this plane until there was nothing left. I couldn't help but think how they looked like ants stripping a dead carcass. And it made me realize we are parasites.
Snarky opinions and lustful thoughts of an unashamedly liberal, gay, Bay Area Daddy Bear. If my commentary unwittingly offends, tough shit.
