Civilized Taste. It is no simple matter. Like human babies, the orangs are prone to disease, require fussy diets and demand constant coddling. "They pull your ears affectionately," says Sabah Conservator of Forests Thomas Bayles, "and they go to bed hugging each other." Worse yet, they take all too eagerly to the comforts of domestication, quickly develop a fondness for such civilized delicacies as salt, pineapples and chicken eggs.

That is because the issues which are the guts of the national discontent are simply not susceptible--in any serious sense--to the kind of simplistic critical discussion going on today...
...people sitting, and another 25 standing in a circle around them. They began to talk about The Man--the police--coming to get them, and what to do about it. The consensus of the group seemed to be for a symbolic march to the local jail with a demand to be arrested, or if not that, simply sitting there and allowing the police to remove them...
