From wikipedia about ants: Some ants, such as the Amazon ants, are incapable of feeding themselves, and must rely on captured worker ants to care for them. In some cases ant colonies may have other species of ants or termites within the same nest. On that basis, I'm happy to continue slandering ants that don't follow the cooperative society, self organising model, although I suspect they don't care.

I always preferred the society Heinlein portrayed in The Puppet Masters. There’s something endearing about the thought of politicians, economists and sociologists all trumpeting their cause stark naked. Kind of puts all the lies in perspective.

I’d definitely encourage people to review the Slashdot comments thread. Lots of interesting remarks and a lot of disagreement about whether anthills are communist, capitalist or even something else.
