Back from Brazil and thinking about Primates

Gary Larson sure had fun with Jane Goodall.

Watching the rise of fascism in the United States makes me wish that more people were like Jane. I had hope for a long time, but am no longer sure that this country is deserving of respect. At the same time I think back to Edgar Rice Burroughs and his Tarzan books – Jane was there learning about the Great Apes. Perhaps we can learn about the fascist apes running the government.

Then again, perhaps there is no hope in the near future.

Tomorrow, day one from the Pantanal, Brazil.
