PRIMATE CHANGE?<br />

OR CLIMATE CHANGE?<br />

YOU CHOOSE!<br />

– THE BLOGAL VILLAGE VOICE<br />

Primate, I go ape! If you are Homo sapiens, the thinking<br />

species that I think you are, before you finish reading this,<br />

you will too. In my primate mind’s eye, right in the forefront<br />

of country-to-country efforts to mitigate Global Warming, I<br />

envision Blogal Warming, a rise by 2 degrees Celsius in<br />

the body temperature of primate bloggers all over the world to the level<br />

of passion in their advocacy for A Greaner World, greener & cleaner.<br />

Personally, only last month, I found that that is a damn good reason to write more ardently, not the least to blog<br />

more arduously, to fever-pitch. Normally, before this, I had been held prisoner by other primal interests.<br />

Primates of the world, unite: You have nothing to lose but your chains!<br />

Consider this Frank Hilario’s Blogal Warning, a 3-decades-delayed response to Al Gore’s Global Warning: We<br />

need to change perspective about Climate Change. Houston, we have a problem. The Global Village is fact in that<br />

the electric impulse connects us all through the Internet, as Marshall McLuhan predicted, yet the Global Village is<br />

fiction in that the connection is divisive and not distributive, elitist and not equitable, devoid of commitment to<br />

community, without a shared vision. Whose fault is it? THE PRIMATES, THE GREAT THINKING APES – THE US.
