【蓝绿第二次绑架】蓝团 The Darwinian Games

Every now and then, I can't help but watch a fur-and-feather drama playing out in a parcel of wilderness not far from my backyard. Furs belong to coyotes and feathers come with wild geese.

 

Where wild geese land is where they feed. Where they feed is also where coyotes feed. Herbivores enjoy the grass. Carnivores enjoy the herbivores. Simple, plain, and true. That's the beauty--or the beastiliness--of the Darwinian Games which, in a real sense, are the Hunger Games. Hunger explains Darwinism in a nutshell. But then, why did it take millennia for us to figure it out? Better late than never, though. Kudos to Charles Darwin for publishing The Origin of Species in 1859. Kudos to the English poet Alfred Tennyson who, in 1850, declared that "nature, red in tooth and claw." Science and literature make sense to each other, don't they?

 

Coyotes and wild geese make sense to each other, too, if you know what I mean.
