A few words on a sub-culture

There are beings among us which go unnoticed. They are small but make a huge impact on the environment. They pay no taxes yet have the resources to build homes and support large families. Not just small residential dwellings, these individuals construct huge condos, skyscrapers (for their size). Their families are matriarchal as well as communal. They are not “socializers” by nature, wanting to be with their own kind. Their communities are self-sufficient and function with no outside support. However, the survival of their entire “empire” is reliant on living on what our society would consider garbage or stolen provisions. They answer to no one and have no leader. They will defend their home to the death. Their wisdom is referenced as a model to be considered.*
We are urged to study this society as an example of energy and productivity. These creatures cost our civilization millions, $236.5 million to Texas Cattlemen alone. It is just a drop in the bucket compared to the pain and suffering they inflict on humanity. BUT, we must respect their culture, tenacity, and creativity of the fire ant.

*Proverbs 6-11 You lazy fool, look at an ant. Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two.Nobody has to tell it what to do. All summer it stores up food; at harvest it stockpiles provisions.So how long are you going to laze around doing nothing? How long before you get out of bed?A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there, sit back, take it easy—do you know what comes next?Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life, poverty your permanent houseguest!

Proverbs 24-25 There are four small creatures, wisest of the wise they are— ants—frail as they are, get plenty of food in for the winter;
