I've never written this before here on the Internet - outside in the everyday 3-D real non-Internet, non-forum, world, people who know me know that I say often say that humans have AAS: Angry Ape Syndrome. (<----something that I proudly made up and invented.)

Your self-awareness transcends that of the average hominid on this planet, Rick.

When I was young, I was profoundly struck by the extent to which human activities are chimpanzee behavior blown-up to gigantic, grotesque proportions. This was brought home to me by watching TV programs about Jane Goodall and the chimpanzee troupe at the Gombe Reserve.

This is a topic which deserves a thread of its own, though I am uncertain which forum it belongs under.
