Bee hives are stable, productive communities that exist because of, not despite, the efforts of all involved.

You're the one claiming that bee hives contain an entire class of
subversives. But, as usual, I don't suspect you have any evidence for that.

Not everything, but close. I will not defend Senator Menendez, if it turns
out that he is corrupt, and I will not defend Hunter Biden if it turns out
that he did actually commit crimes.

You, on the other hands, cannot concede even the possibility that Trump did anything wrong. It sounds like you're describing yourself up there.

Hello Aaron,

Late we are threatened with a ban for the fact that we are not
communists.

There's no rule against speaking about communism on here.

Of course not. This is the POLITICS echo. Where anything goes.
No moderators allowed, with moderators being their own moderators.
Isn't that nice? Kinda neat, the way I look at it.

These leftists (globalist-minded BBS people) are on a mission to defend everything the media says, so the things you say are shocking to them. They
can't imagine any reason to doubt the words they hear on TV.

I know deaf/blind folks who could care less about tv or what shows
might be on such devices. Does that qualify them as "rightists" or
something other than "leftists"?

They are like bees; the media is the "queen bee," and Bjorn, Jeff, and a few
other insane people are the "drone bees," and the only thing that "drone bees" do for their colony is reproduce offspring.

What planet are you from? A drone's *only* role is to mate with a
maiden queen in nuptial flight. Drones do not gather nectar or pollen.
And do not have a stinger. A queen bee is a worker bee, the only worker
bee that drone bees will mate with. Once their job is done, they just
sit around and wait for the next one to come around.

The other group of American people in here are conservatives. Conservatives
are like the "worker bees," because they work hard for their money, and they have curiosity and concern about how the government spends income tax revenue.

Dude, drone bees only mate with the maiden queen in nuptial flight.
No other worker bee gets to enjoy the fun.

The "drones" don't care about the colony, and in this case they actually want to see it collapse.

Drone bees have no stinger, thus ensuring the queen bee's survival.
And are always true to their mate, never cheating on her as long as
she is alive. You see, a queen bee is female, and creates all the
babies for the hive. If not for drone bees, bees could not survive.
Which would mean the extinction of the human race. Albert Einstein
said so himself.

But it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

For Life,
Lee

Hello Jeff,

communists.

Indeed, there is not. Nor is there any rule against speaking about capitalism, socialism, authoritarianism, despotism, libertarianism, totalitarianism, antidisestablimentarianism, etc.

The US Constitution mentions no economic system, or political parties.

It would be helpful, though, if you actually knew something about whatever you're posting about.

Be careful. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

Hmm. And how do the "worker bees" feel about living under a monarchy? As you
can see, your metaphor is nonsense.

All drones die for their queen.
Just like all MAGA idiots die for their ...

The "drones" don't care about the colony, and in this case they actually

Drone bees do not want the colony to collapse. Where did you learn about bees?

Once the queen dies there is no more need for a colony ...

Shame on you! A person is supposed to be presumed innocent until
proven guilty in this country of ours.

Guilt by accusation was the norm in Nazi Germany. As well as in
Stalinist Russia. And in Maoist China. And a few other places of
note.

But this is America. As described by Francis Scott Key in the last
stanza of his famous poem, "The land of the free, and the home of the
brave?"

What wimps.

You, on the other hands, cannot concede even the possibility that Trump did

Oh, come now. Every MAGA idiot knows Trump is always right.

Neither did those Republicans who refused to view it, as shown by

I still say you are wrong about the drones. Only one of them contributes
anything to the hive. The others all just free load off of the workers until they kill them.

Oh, and which one is that? Are you assuming that only one of the drones mates with the queen bee?

That is what we were taught (and shown on film) in school.

Also, research has shown that when when bees -- both workers and drones -- detect that the hive is getting too cold or too warm, they work together to regulate the temperature of the hive by shivering or moving air with their wings, respectively.

We were taught that the drones do very little, so that is new.

The workers don't kill the drones, nor does the queen. They die as a result of mating, or of natural causes.

That is not what we were taught (and shown on film) in school. It is also
not what we were shown during a nature class where bees were kept in a bee
box that was see through on one end. We got to watch the workers drag the still live and kicking drones to one corner of the box where they were
being killed.

Some of them could die of natural causes, I am sure, but the ones we
watched that day died of the "natural cause" of injuries inflicted by the
other bees, which apparently is something that naturally happens.

I remember it well because I was not a fan of bees at that age.

Attempting to compare bee sociology to human forms of government is not a
vwry good metaphor.
