Earlier, I'd seen ants traveling the ant-equivalent of a hundred miles just to bring back a portion of a leaf or twig or crumb. Now, within just a few human inches of their hill, they have sugar and crackers, in quantities so vast, it would take them days or weeks to gather so much.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I made the burden of the ants just a little smaller for today. Maybe a few ants will have the luxury of not walking so far, across searing asphalt, to get what they need to live and thrive and satisfy those instincts to search and gather and build."</I><BR/><BR/>Do you know what you have done? Do you have any idea what the consequences of that will be? Assuming nobody bothers these ants in the meantime, in a few months, after the demise of the current generation and shortly after they are done eating up your "gift", they will discover that they have degenerated into a lazy, fat society, unable to walk that hundred miles for a twig or bit of leaf even if they were willing, which they won't be because they will have adopted an irrational sense of entitlement to food without working for it because that is all their generation has ever known. Even the ones physically willing and able will be petrified of leaving the hill because of the frightening giant feet which they have heard about from the few ants who have dared venture out a little ways.<BR/><BR/>Evil Scott! Bad Scott! You have Americanized an entire ant colony!Jondersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337483352663839240noreply@blogger.com
