The references are (Society = You and I, Parasite = Government) as referred in the original video. I do not believe an insect, in any way, can represent the parasite of which I spoke. If we truly believe that we can never influence a change in the parasite, we are lost. Some important issues, as I see it, are the lack of a platform to acheive change and the general feeling of hopelessness within Society. The government isn't going away anytime soon. We can't wish it away and change through violence isn't the solution. We need to "Tame the Beast". If you don't choose to influence your mosquito, you just may get West Nile or Malaria and die! Then you won't be able to complain about the bites. Cheers....

DeepGreenResistance, I feel your passion. I think you have chosen the wrong topic to argue and/or the wrong website. I'm new here, but if it exists, you might be an AnarchoEnvironmentalist. Cheers....

You might help the thief see the error of his ways. Without violence, noone makes anyone do anything. You control your destiny in a free society.

If a Deli owner, has two employees making $9/hr, when minimum wage increases $3./hr, how does he deal with this? Based on your statement, he increases his prices to give himself and his employees a $3/hr increase in wages. This maintains their standard of living in a changing market. The problem isn't the Deli, when a wage increase occurs, it's the $50/hr employee working for the State who receives the Cost of living increase. Who should change jobs to attain higher pay? I apologize, if I lack clarity. I am new to this site.

Can Society not influence the state of the Parasite through direction & involvement in the processes of the Parasite?
