The Iguanas Had Infiltrated the Democratic Process

Over the last thirty-five years more and more iguanas were installing themselves in positions of power. They were created by the bird Venusians and possessed only one dominant gene in their pool, and that was the gene that told them to make rules. No smoking in cars, bars, or anyplace in the world. No antennas on the roofs of houses, no opinions stated that disagreed with their positions. They even created a news channel to enable them to spout and spew and denigrate those with their own views. They cleverly called it something other than the Venusian Channel to conceal its origin. Though health care was like water and more akin to a public utility that everyone needs, they insisted that Americans should pay one day of each weeks salary to be covered in sickness, or not covered at all if they should be out of work, and in many cases not covered when they worked.
These birds could be found on city councils everywhere now. The normals wern't much interested in these political functions, possibly preferring some fun activity in their free time to making rules of regulation. Therefore, the bird Venusians found it easy to take over entire cities. They invested tax dollars on the stock market as if they were quarters to be inserted in slot machines. They requisitioned private property to build golf courses and claim land for the public domain. In doing so they increase tax dollars brought in and lived lavishly while the normals suffered without adequate education, promised roads and infrastructure, and other things that an honest government provides to its citizens.
They proposed to put guns in every one's hands, that way the police didn't have to be paid to protect the citizens of the towns. When you went to a bar now, you looked around. It was like going to an abandoned ghost town. They handed out ten gallon hats at the door of the saloon and later in the evening carried out the dead.
