I think a particularly good example are the parasitic wasps that lay their eggs in caterpillars and then eat the caterpillar up while it is alive. They leave the head alone- so it can keep them alive until the larvae are mature. That doesn't really seem "just" or "fair" to me. Of course I think those words are pretty silly outside of the human realm of ideals, so it's no wonder the animal kingdom isn't just and fair.

"That's standard operating procedure for nature....But you must know, at least, about the smallest, weakest little birdies being starved and pecked to death by their stronger siblings. Thus creating a stronger bird-line.

Ah yes, and yet we think it's somehow wrong for kids to bully one another. Perhaps that's what's wrong with education today. Has X heard about this?
