Jane Goodall: You are Loved and Appreciated! By #Me2

    Some people, by the lack of me not writing a tribute or obituary to this maverick of scientists, a wonderful human who made primatology a bigger, deeper, richer, science, now are accusing me of being a misogynist, anti-primate or chimp hater,  or worse. An anti-environmentalist or world hater. Sure. That could be me. But it is not. I appreciate and respect Jane and her kind! We love primates.

    We celebrate and recognize the amazing contributions to science and the world that this woman has done. She has generously provided to the earth and to the widths and depths of our knowledge, and she  inspired others and all humanity, to not take things at face value, as a good scientist should do, and has left the planet far better than she found it.

    Thank you, Jane! Others have written more and better than me, but I have now cleared a little bit of my record. I love women, and for all I know this woman was a great woman, scientist, human being, no matter her gender and upbringing. She enriched us all through her endeavors and efforts and dreams. She worked in a way that many so-called smart people doubted, but she has been totally vindicated.

    Long live Goodall and all she stands for!

    Am I now vindicated?

    Sure, like the chimp lover I am.

    I am a regular Matthew Broderick. Or something like that.

    Long live the chimps and Jane and all natures and us with it!

    Me2, I am not a offender, but defender of all things good.

    Long live the spirit and love of Jane Goodall.

    Did I vindicate my reputation as a eulogizer? But in the end, this not about me, but her. However, it is about me. And her. And, all us primates and sapiens.

    Here's to us! And obituaries, eulogies, and, tributes, and memories. And dreams, too.
