9 July 1998 - harnessing evolution

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I have a theory about ants. I figure that if I step on every ant I see, then eventually by natural selection the ants will evolve to avoid me. It may take a few million years, but I’m patient.

I have a similar theory about voting against the town council members who raise my property tax, but they evolve even more slowly.
