BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Rescued hiker recounts 6 harrowing days in the desert - latimes.com

Rescued hiker recounts 6 harrowing days in the desert - latimes.com: "He did not care whether he lived, he said, but wanted to make it for the sake of his wife of 21 years, Nicole Kaplan, and his 20-year-old daughter, Hilary. 'That was my primary motive,' he said."

Am I missing something here?
Did he or did he not want to live; considering he could have brought them alone?
Would he have wanted to live had he not a wife and daughter; or a different pair altogether?
Now that he's said this, doesn't that leave him owing his puzzled wife and daughter an explanation?
Maybe I'm wrong to believe his wife and daughter were puzzled; if even aware they should be?

How strangely mysterious and lovable these creatures; those calling themselves "HEAD of HOUSEHOLD" come tax time.
