Tick Turds

Ticks are hideous little things that not only suck the life blood out of you but they leave turds behind as well.  Having one of the larger variety living here now I can say they are a pain to deal with.  They reproduce and then don't take care of said children.  When confronted with questions or unpleasant circumstances they tend to respond with anger and/or laying of blame elsewhere.  It calls into question Darwin's theory on evolution given that they manage to survive without being of benefit to anyone or anything other than themselves.  The only thing I can think of is that they survive because we as parents are dumb enough to think we can help them to succeed by giving them food, housing, transportation, etc.

Yesterday as I was venting over the current happenings, I a statement that the expectation of being here another year was questionable.  The brought a ray of hope that this seemingly never ending suckfest will end.  For the tick(s) it should be a horrible day of reckoning when at last they are made to survive on their own.  To deal with all those terrible things that result from ones actions and demand recompense.  I Love Karma!

Why do the stupid not die out?  Darwin said that the strong would survive, the weak die out and that is the way the world turns.  So we are left each day with stupid people who should die off because they are too stupid to survive, right?  Wrong!  They are all around us, live with us and even reproduce thus insuring more stupid people to confront, deal with for years to come.  You know these people...they text instead of talking on the phone.  They make plans which depend upon the help of others who are not made aware of their required participation until the last moment.  These are the ones who believe that their fun/social lives come before the responsibilities of life.

I heard the tick whine the other day that their life was screwed up to which I responded that it was of their own doing.  This was not a complete shock to them but it was not the first thought they had when they made the statement.  It is a pandemic in the mindset of today's young adults.  They seem to believe that they can have the Hollywood lifestyle without working to achieve it.  When things go wrong, it is always someone else's fault or required duty to help them get out of the jam.  I question why we as true adults let this continue.  I personally have heard "we" can't afford to let them fail.  So does this mean "we" must spend ourselves into poverty in the hope that they will eventually wake up?  I don't think so Tim!  The lessons I remember the most were those that came from having to dig myself out of the hole I dug myself into.  A hand up is not the same thing as a handout.

Maybe this by this time next year this will be the sight from my porch.  If so, I will leave the tick turds for someone else to clean up.
