OK

Fair enough, but the ants are just doing their "job", exactly what they are programmed to do.

Maybe it’s you who is invading on their space.

Maybe the ants don’t like you!

They are following Nature…yet you don’t like them.

So your basis of Ethics is "If-I-don’t-like-it-I-can-kill-it"?

Huh?

Ok, you might say: "Well, I’m bigger than the ants, I’m more "intelligent", I’m at level 3 damn it and I have the right to say ‘No ants at my picnic by golly’"

Fine.

You ever see that commercial on television where the little kid is trying to burn some ants with a magnifying glass?

And then something bigger comes along with a bigger magnifying case and starts to burn the kid?

Ok.

I rest my case.

Bobby G <----------- not burning any ants...

....something bigger just might come along.
