The difference between people and ants is that people don't work as hard--I mean, is that people want to make decisions for themselves. That why we limit ultimate coercive authority to the government; every form of pushing people around that's legal is either voluntary, like having a telephone, or sanctioned by your government, like military service. That's why we're so careful to control government authority using our finest technology, the Florida voting machine.
