Is there an interest charge on borrowed time? And what about reparations for sufferers and fines for perpetrators? If you look at the political world as Wild Kingdom, predator and prey are simply just a step down on the food chain from governance. In fact many viewers find entertainment value in the sight of a hyena dining in the innards of peaceful baby giraffe as the defeated animals legs flail in an involuntary last attempt to escape. The gladiatorial battles of Rome, bull and matador and finally MMA are just one degree separation, with the purse rewarded to a killer. What then is the shock in seeing pure animal behavior in The White House where the notion of an emoluments clause is laughed at and lying is de rigueur? Spencer, social Darwinism, the weak caving to the strong in the unending survival of the fittest—these describe the constitution of our new “body.”
