Perhaps some will be interested to hear that, on a
different list, I have been following a thread which
argues that we and chimpanzees are essentially equivalent
(our genes are 99.44% the same -- good enough for
Ivory soap...).

So, if you do not know already, be hereby apprised that
there are PhDs out there who are asserting that
"chimps R us", and that chimps should have equal rights
to humans, etc./et al.

Economists have paltry imaginations: they are only able
to reduce homo sapiens to homo economicus.  "Real scientists"
are able to reduce homo sapiens to homo chimpiens!

As John F Kennedy did not say in Berlin when he made the
mikstake of confusing Berliners with "Berliners" (pastries):

Ich nich bin ein chimp!
