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?

Polar bears vs. grizzlies: Study foresees winner - U.S. news - Environment - Climate Change - msnbc.com

Polar bears vs. grizzlies: Study foresees winner - U.S. news - Environment - Climate Change - msnbc.com: "Polar bears evolved from the brown bear relatively recently, and the two are closely related, with the split between them occurring 500,000 to 800,000 years ago in response to the rapid onset of glacial climates during the ice ages.
Polar bears are a 'marvelous example of rapid adaptation to an extreme environment,' Slater said. 'The fact that we can lose them equally as rapidly as a result of human-mediated climate change is rather striking.'"
