6) Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, 7) Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, 8) Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest. 9) How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10) A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest– 11) Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.(Proverbs 6:6-11, NASB)

Proverbs

Who might the wise man have had in mind? Obviously someone who thought that human governments were the slippery slope. We have never been as organized as the ants are and as long as organization of our food and housing are the subject of unresolved debate and official minority opposition the ants will put humans to shame. Republicans, fascists, all kinds of patriots, and religious bigots will never have the privilege of saying honestly and factually “The smaller the government footprint the better the lives of all the people”. They are mentally and physically lazy, definitely not ants.
