I am not liking some of the speciism being shown in subtle discriminations against our nearest relative. Shame on you all! ;-)

What I do fear though is if Chongo is right. The cost of bananas could rocket out of control and all the wars where oil is involved could be madec obsolete (a very good thing as we will not need petrol) but us find us fighting for banana plantations.

I suggest the chimps form a pact now so they can get a good price for their bananas and teach we humans how to survive off the land without destorying our environment. Certainly seeing chimps as consultants of natural living would be an improvement on some of humans those doing it now!

I support the Chimp Coalition as long as Sir David Attenborough can be President (he has, after all, done the most of any human to help chimps and we shall have a bank holiday in honour of Dian Fossey and her ilk)

For sure a pact between Pan troglodytes and Pan paniscus (Bonobo) would certainly liven things up in any parlaimentary building. PG tips would become the drink of the century and all animal experimentation would stop forthwith

...oh yes... brave new world indeed. Bring it on! ;-)
