Quote of the Week: "The foreign policy aim of ants can be summed up as 
follows: restless aggression, territorial conquest, and genocidal 
annihilation of neighboring colonies whenever possible. If ants had 
nuclear weapons, they would probably end the world in a week." --Journey 
to the Ants, page 59. Bert Holldobler & Edward O. Wilson
