Parasitism is common. However humans must be the kings of intraspecies-parasitism. I can think of no other species which hosts so many of it's own as parasites and devotes so much energy to raising them up high. The parasites even lead worshiped in church, temple, or wicca hut; or are watched with bated breath on the boob tube, and people vote to select the best parasites to suck them dry.
