Words we need to know

In ecology, commensalism is a class of relationships between two organisms where one organism benefits from the other without affecting it. This is in contrast with mutualism, in which both organisms benefit from each other, amensalism, where one is harmed while the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one benefits while the other is harmed.

Damien's note: Which of these terms best describes the economic, political and social system in place in the United States today? 

Explain your anger answer.

    Have you ever read "Those who walk away from Omelas" by U.K. LeGuin? She sums it up best in metaphor: apparently our system works because some most lose for the rest to do well. And what the alternative is, can't be said, but there are those who want to go looking for it.
