Cassandra, recalled as the great Trojan sibyl
proclaimed to all people of Troy’s body civil

“the erstwhile gift, so grand and so stately
drug heedless to caution among us just lately

is none but a ruse, containing destruction”
ignoring her warning, prophetic instruction

they ended their vigil, turned glutton, debaucher
gave over their necks to the blade of their slaughter

The Sybil of course— had she managed survival
would find but contempt on the record archival

Montana Bear Tragedy Everybody should heed the warning to not feed wildlife because they become dependent and cannot forage for themselves anymore. This is such a tragedy to see what they have done to our country's wildlife! The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect US wildlife . . .

Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democrat Party, as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance. This photo is of a Democrat black bear in Montana nicknamed Bearack Obearma.
