Re: poly what?
it is a truth - just because something can be done doesnt mean that is should be done. look around you and youll see. how much of what is done today is being done in ignorance? about 95%, i would say.
as for relationships, i am old fashioned, patriarchal and family oriented. this is not out of fear but because it works.
what keeps those ants all going back and forth along the same route? dont they know their little feet could take them anywhere they wanted? dont they get bored? dont they know they are just being used by the queen for her own personal benefit?
then man comes along and distills them to make formica with.
proverbs six
6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
proverbs 30
24There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
