Does the way international target the vulnerable?

This is interesting because I recently looked into a bit of geographical AND botanical background about the ' tares' Jesus referred to when he mentioned about the tares and wheat growing together until ' harvest'  lest the wheat ( God's people ) be uprooted along with the tares. The question of course is WHO or WHAT are the ' tares' ? The tares are of course another name for ' weeds'....but here's what I thought was interesting...in the Palestine area one of the most common weeds is the ' lolium temuletum' or ' bearded darnell'. The bearded darnell is a species of rye grass that so closely resembles wheat that it can only be differentiated ONCE the wheat has reached maturity ! Also, this bearded darnell contains a soporific poison that if ingested causes a stupor or almost hypnotic, sleepy effect to the victim !! Any thoughts on who or what the tares are ? My guess is the ' pc' brigade, but what say you ? ( maybe this shoulda been posted in the doctrinal section but when I read about these posts ala 'brain trips' couldn't help myself lol )  

Thanks, Allan..........

Having grown up on a wheat farm, I can attest that rye and wheat are VERY similar......and only differentiated, if growing together in the same field from a bumper crop, shortly before wheat and rye reach maturity.  Here in the states, the common rye grows about 6-8 inches taller than wheat, but is hard to distinguish as the two grow together.  Only about the final two weeks before harvest is the distinction between the two more recognizable.

Interesting about the "soporific poison" in this Palestinian strand of rye.............
