Ants Must Be Killed

Yes, I killed some ants today. But in all fairness, I did not invite them inside my well-kept house. Nor did I ask for the God-given ability to kill any species inferior to my own. I realize that from the ant point of view, this equates to genocide (or ethnic cleansing, at a minimum). Since their brains are microscopic, I’m sure they didn’t know they were doing anything wrong. That’s why I feel a little bit evil today.

To prevent lose-lose situations like these from occurring, why not give ants the same universal memory chip that tells birds when and where to migrate? Ants would use this hard-wired intelligence to realize that their entire colony could be wiped out if they invade a house, apartment, thatched hut or any other human dwelling that has a door. They would simply find somewhere else to play. The earth must seem pretty massive to an ant, so they would have seemingly endless opportunities to roam without annoying a species that has the ability not only to build houses and huts, but more importantly to destroy all lesser lifeforms.

Am I right or am I right?
