Meanwhile other organisms unburdened by parasites grow apace. Sooner or later things reach the point where the parasite-ridden host
loses its apex role in the ecosystem.  And then surprise, surprise: they no longer make way from the former king of the hill. President Obama probably never believed that Canada could take its business elsewhere. But it happens. Like California, like Detroit -- like all the places to which the leeches have attached themselves --€” a glorious past is no guarantee of an assured future.  Sooner or later things get bled dry and even the leeches move elsewhere. --Belmont Club » The Ichneumon Wasp
