So Austria refuses to acknowledge a 26-year old chimpanzee filing for bankruptcy assistance as a person (person as an entity distinctly separate from human, in Austrian legislature). This ruling bars him from all that sweet, sweet socialist capital that flows from the E.U. like so much milk from the teats of a nursing father. This issue brings to mind many questions and concerns, such as what values one uses to determine humanity (biological, social or moral?), or why it's appropriate for a journalist to open with a "monkeying around" pun. In this bloggist's opinion, whether we fling feces made of depleted uranium or doo-doo, we're all chimpmanzees.
