What happened next?
I think most people can see the similarities between us and chimps... We have flat faces, skin and hair, etc, etc, even thumbs! How could I have forgotten....
When we watched the movie of Keeli and Ivy, and the one of Nim, something that was hidden on the back of my mind popped out, and reminded me chimps have feelings and are very smart, thinking creatures. Maybe I did not know that before, but I always had a feeling that we were close cousins.
Anyway, that was one of the things that the movies made me think about. But what occupied my brain the most was what happened with the chimps, Keeli and Ivy specially, after the movie was over?
We weren't given a flash forward on the chimp's future, right?
I did my research and I found out that the movie was realised in 2002 but in 2006 the Chimpanzee Centre had to close because of the lack of funds. Some chimps were sent to Primarily Primates in Texas, a sanctuary and research facility for chimps and many, many other species of animals. The remaining of the chimps were sent to the Chimp Have; Keeli and Ivy were sent there. A few chimps that belonged to the Ohio University passed away in the process of changing location, others died at their new home.
It saddens me that I couldn't find more info about Keeli and Ivy, and their life in the "new" home. But hey! Next time I go to LA, I may go see them! :D

Humanity should have ended the 21st
Apparently, even if the Senate committee voted majority to allow a same-sex marriage to come to be, it is not enough to write a proper bill, or so it appears to seem, in this huffingtonpost.com that I just read.... I'm confused. Maybe I read it wrong, maybe I should do more research. But in the end, there is no true saying, or support, to make this... thing real, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong (Like you can see, I'm not well informed),but I don't see much effort put into this. I also wonder, why can't the higher ups do what the majority of the people want? I know, this is a childish question, but they are really getting to my nerves. Sometimes I want to go down to Springfield and protest the Argentinian way! (At least I'll get some attention from the press after getting arrested) Hitting casseroles with wooden spoons.... Hell yeah.
Any way, I think it's time they realize (again) that they work for us, and it's because of normal citizens (and aliens) that they are up there. I mean, the country barely escaped the fiscal cliff!
Yes, I know about the differences between the parties, but they should be able to put out differences a part, us as people too, and try to understand the point of view of the other and try to work around that. I'm sure, that even in my PE class could solve large scale problems like how to work up the economy, how to supply the popular demand of social issues, and how to keep little, innocent children away from crazy psychos with guns from their mothers!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!!!!!!????
.... Now, that I got that out of my chest/fingers/mind, I want to clarify that:
Yes, humans are hard-headed people who don't often change their minds; yes, it is hard (coughImpossiblecough) to come up with an idea that will make everyone happy, and yes, I am being hard with the Gov. because, even if they do try, and even if they have too many things to worry or work about, my people from PE could do it too, and probably better (I know, I said that before.... but because it's true!)
All right, now I'm done :) I hope, in my future, everybody will have equality like how the Constitution says... That women will have the same pay as men ( I swear, I will punch my boss in the face if he, yes HE, discriminates me), and that coloured people will also be treated like any white person....
I strongly believe.... that every white male should have a daughter and a super best friend coloured dude.... Then, maybe then, they will see beyond their own benefits at brining everybody below them..... Well, not like every white man is a racist, arschlochs...

Hello, it's Been a While
Indeed, I am aware that I should have at least posted 3 more stories in my blog, but lately I have been thinking that whatever I write about, is not going to be an original idea, because most teens my age know what I know, so that is sort of one of my legit excuses. I'm also aware, that by not writing any posts, I am endangering the grades of my fellow students in my pod, as well as my own, so from now on, I will try my best to find interesting things to write about... And post more often.... Thank you, and sorry!
