With such a selfless devotion to the greater good, ants are the model citizens of any repressive totalitarian society. They even use their bodies to span any gaps in their little routes. Quite remarkable stuff.
This video is required posting when blogging about anything to do with ants. It has the totalitarian, selfless theme in there [...]

I’m not a natural Green party supporter. They’re instinctively lefty on economic issues, and their ‘think about the children’ election campaign left me cold, given my mortal fear of ever being a father. However, I do not doubt their sincerity on the issue of the environment, and they are the party most likely to try [...]

Iceland has in the last few days renewed commercial whaling. I completely oppose this for a variety of reasons, including a reason lampooned in the Economist, namely that whales are ‘charismatic mega-fauna’. Many in Iceland (sorry about the headline to those of you) and elsewhere are appalled by this decision, as it is not only [...]
