"People are pretty fed up with the Western world and its greed."

Well, Jane, the Western world is fed up with econuts blaming us for all the world's ills instead of looking in the mirror to find the source of their problems. Why don't you go back to the jungle with Tarzan and the apes, Jane?

Ok, I'm confused - I thought "Gorillas in the Mist" Jane Goodall was dead, killed in her African hut by poachers after gorilla parts. Or was that some other primateologist? Or was that part of the movie and not real life?

Ask Jane what she thinks one of Saddam's nuclear weapons would do to the environment...

"Since Sept. 11, Americans haven't wanted to speak out for the environment because it doesn't seem patriotic," Goodall said. "If we allow our planet to deteriorate any more, the terrorists will get their victory. There will be nothing left."

Oh boo frickin' hoo.

Maybe people with reasoning skills have noticed that the environment is in better shape now (notwithstanding the forests in the western U.S.) then ever. Give me a break already with the environmental whacko outlook. I mean, what do they want? To get rid of electricity and automobiles? Oh yeah, they do. Jane Goodall is good at talking to apes, but not people.

interesting quote:"...But what we really need to do is put that energy into our discussions and meetings, not give fuel to the people who warn about overzealous environmentalism."

Primate expert Jane Goodall told participants at the U.N. development summit Tuesday the fight against terrorism threatens to overshadow environmental concerns in the United States

Who cares what some weird old skank who thinks chimpanzees are people believes? Maybe they can get pesticide expert Meryl Streep to testify too. (puke)

I like this title better: "Common-sense Americans worry that environmentalism distracts from anti-terrorism."

Should we assign our highest priority to fighting terrorism, or ecological concerns?
Perhaps we had better ask ourselves What Would Koko Do? (WWKD?)

She says she misses the solitude of living with the chimps, but now travels 300 days a year promoting...

...herself and collecting big, fat lecture fees. Chimps never shelled out this kind of money for the work she put into them.
