Would it necessarily have to be done with bloodshed? What about some form of Going Galt? Could we starve off the parasite by cutting off its food supply.... stop feeding it, so-to-speak. The trick would be to figure out a way to do that and the hardest part would be to trust that there are still enough producers with the courage and will power to do without most things we have come to enjoy having.

How many parasites die quietly when the food supply is cut off?

We are in a world of crap in the future. Going Galt will only create a desperate hunger in the parasite. They will not go quietly in that good night.

With Obama at the controls look for him to feed and nurture the parasite. It's what gives him power and a sense of pride.

I used to laugh at this picture of Michele superimposed onto the the Star Trek creature. Now I'm not so sure...

Or maybe it's more like the creature that fed on hate and fighting in the Star Trek episode Day of the Dove where: "Both humans and Klingons have been lured to a planet by a formless entity that feeds on hatred and has set about to fashion them into a permanent food supply for itself."
