Up in the Mojave, our land supported several kinds of ant. One was fire ants. I found out pretty quick that fire ants REALLY hurt when they bite you. Which is why they're called fire ants, I guess
Yeah, most people are taught that our species is the crown of Creation, the most intelligent, and the natural-born rulers over all. While there's no question that we are technically very advanced and capable of higher thought, members of other species have their own abilities and talents that we are just beginning to learn about after all these millenia of being smugly superior and dismissive. If we don't destroy ourselves before it occurs, we may learn that each of us has abilities, talents, and intelligence and that no one is above another. I think that's true with people, too -- even those with lower IQs may have abilities and talents not shared by those with higher IQs, and so on. I don't believe anyone, of any species, should be dismissed out of hand as being without value and talent. But yeah, cruel people make my blood boil, too, and I do rant a lot about that. I believe in justice and that anyone who wilfully harms an innocent, blameless living being should have justice come upon them, whether here on earth, or in due time, because I do believe in a Supreme Being Who sees all and regards that kind of action as unforgivable.
