2. Read De Waal on sex as a peace making mechanism
It's great. Reconciliation in a group may even be facilitated by homosexual acts.

3. I pointed this out months ago on DU as a way of explaining his thrall over
people who, shall we kindly say, aren't very intelligent or self-reflexive.

He's the big monkey and all the other monkeys want to pick his nits. Hey, now...I said nits.

5. Even Bush's tendency to make "mm" "mm" "mm" "mm" sounds
in his speeches at every pause is very chimp-like.
