I saw the film a while ago. Africa is still feeling the effects of colonization. The effects of colonization are far reaching, and one of the reasons the Middle East is unstable was it once was European colonies that never really learned to be independent and develope as a society . American is still in a nineteenth century frame of mind, playing the the nineteenth century imperialistic game. Europe learned the hard way that imperialism does not work. Instead of nation-states playing the rule-the-world game, now multinational corporations are playing the rule-the-world game. Certainly these corporate conquerers are no better to the world than the nation-state ones.

Thanks, Suzy. We’ve got some momentum going… Need to raise some serious $ for logging concession conversion, but we’re on the right track. Our cup runneth over, now we just need our bank account to do the same! Heading back to Congo soon. Hope to make it over to sunny CA at some point before too long. Hope all goes well with you! xo sallywww.bonobo.org

This is my favorite part: “…there are plenty of people on Earth, probably too many. And there are very, very few bonobos.” I just made a donation to The Bonobo Conservation Initiative: hope it makes it to Mama Bonobo before going towards someone’s salary in Washington, DC.

I’m into the Bonobo Way, and your whole philosophy of sex and politics, and I watched the stream of the Bonobo Imperative with Dr. Rose and I believe we need to save these creatures somehow. I never saw Hotel Rwanda, but now I think I will see it. Even though you say it has problems, it sounds like a good movie, better than most of what’s out there.

First I’d like to tell you that many of us are celebrating the election results. We got rid of our village idiot Mr. B. You Americans should really do something about your madman “The Decider”.Great piece on Hotel Rwanda. Very thought-provoking. Now, about the Bonobos which you introduced me to years ago. As you know I have made donations to a couple of groups you recommend. In the next few weeks I will make a donation to this project. I am currently traveling, I’ve been very busy during the elections here in Italy. But will be more in touch again soon.In the meantime, I urge all your readers to help with this project and I know as a businessman that lots of money is needed. So help out, there are many important things and knowledge we can gain, if we can save the amazing bonobos.With love,Carlo
