I Don't Even Think Of Chimps As

I Get Upset When So Many People Say There Are All Sorts Of Problems In Africa And India Where They Have These Big Families. They Don't Realize That 10 Children In Rural Tanzania Will Use Less Natural Resources In A Year Than One Middle Class American Child. People Don't Think Like That.

Be Assured That Our Individual Actions, Collectively, Make A Huge Difference.

If You Educate Women, Family Size Tends To Go Down.

And I Thought How Sad It Was That, For All Our Sophisticated Intellect, For All Our Noble Aspirations, Our Aggressive Behavior Was Not Just Similar In Many Ways To That Of The Chimpanzees - It Was Even Worse. Worse Because Human Beings Have The Potential To Rise Above Their Baser Instincts, Whereas Chimpanzees Probably Do Not.

Surely It Should Be A Matter Of Moral Responsibility That We Humans, Different From Other Animals Mainly By Virtue Of Our More Highly Developed Intellect And, With It, Our Greater Capacity For Understanding And Compassion, Ensure That Medical Progress Slowly Detaches Its Roots From The Manure Of Non-human Animal Suffering And Despair.
