Ants are so much gezegde

 Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.
  Lewis Thomas

 With a chemical alarm, you're going to build one that is oversensitive because you would rather the alarm go off and give you a false alarm than to err on the other side,
  H. Norman Schwarzkopf

 Growers could benefit from doing a bit of scouting in their fields. Scouting for aphids is very easy. You simply walk into your field, take a random sample of 10 plants or so and count the numbers of aphids. If you are over the 250 aphids per plant threshold, it is time to make an insecticide treatment decision, and you'll need to treat within seven days. Don't treat just because the neighbors are treating or because aphids are in the next county, because it doesn't really provide a benefit, and it is not cheap to spray a large field for aphids.

 If a company sprays for ants, they're really doing the wrong thing. The only way to get rid of them long term is by baiting them.

 This is not because IRS employees are bad human beings or lazy human beings or stupid human beings; it is because they have been asked to manage and administer a tax code that has become impossible,
  Newt Gingrich

 Man's enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself.

 I saw those ants, and it reminded me when I was kid I used to play with ants. I'd put them in a Mason jar, watch them cavort around. I thought maybe an observation kit would be good.

 A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive. They will tend aphids like little cattle that they farm.

 The family is an early expedient and in many ways irrational. If the race had developed a special sexless class to be nurses, pedagogues, and slaves, like the workers among ants and bees, then the family would have been unnecessary. Such a division of labor would doubtless have involved evils of its own, but it would have obviated some drags and vexations proper to the family.
  George Santayana

 This is a reiteration of how much of a public health threat bird flu really is. Sometimes it takes a human case or a suspected human case to raise the alarm, to remind us that no country, whether China or anywhere else, can afford to be complacent.

 What a pity human beings can't exchange problems. Everyone knows exactly how to solve the other fellow's.

 The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn't there something reassuring about it! -- that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another's eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
  Joyce Carol Oates

 The last sound on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a homemade spaceship and already quarreling about where they are going next.
  William Faulkner
