Groucho's alleged maxim (with a good dose of Mencken) that "politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." Of course that can apply to the Wall Street giveaway as much as to wildlife, but because politics at its root is what's in it for me it colors even the most innocent appeal with a sickly jaundiced yellow. Obviously we hope someone will tend to the world's wildlife, but we also know what it would cost.
