No! check with your power company.....
by wires under ground under neath my feet
Only in the main electric panel.
No, ground wires should not be terminated on the neutral bus. They should be terminated on to the ground bus which should be located on the back wall of the distribution panel. More that one wire can go under the terminal screws if you are running out of room. Shut the panel off and remove any ground wires that are now under the neutral bus terminals and move them to the ground bus. Some panels use a lug for a ground bus. All ground wires into the lug and tighten. In a ground fault condition it is the ground wires that are connected to the ground potential that trip the breaker, not ground wires connected to neutrals. Be safe.
For getting proper earthing. And it will reduce the chance for getting electric shock
Household electric wires are covered with plastic or other materials as insulation to prevent short circuits and fires, and to prevent electric shocks.

The wires don't have to be pigtailed when inserted into the ground bus. More that one wire can go under the terminal screws if you are running out of room.

ten feet or more is a nice distance.
Some species of ants do feed on electric wires.
where are the ground wires located where are the ground wires located where are the ground wires located
Black/White/Ground power in and the same out. Tie the incoming and outgoing white wires together under a yellow wire nut and push them back in the box. Tie the ground wires together under a green wire nut and connect the pigtail from those ground wires to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Doesn't matter which black wire you connect to which screw.
Any electric charge that might be introduced to the equipment.
