Obama's Love\ The Naked Ape

So people around the Obama's are jealous we are told of their surprisingly romantic relationship. We look around us and any thinking person must sometimes despair there are so many needy people in the world, yet it takes a zoologist and not an economist or a musician to really help us understand the world and who we are.

Everyone should read the naked ape, and not forget as he so beautifully points out that for most of our existence we have operated in small nomadic bands and not in huge cities.

We are designed a certain way, our reaction in relationships are for a reason. Some people are very fortunate like the Obama's to find true happiness but they are still like the rest of us just naked apes.

We have sex in a different way to other animals and we have the pair bonding for a reason, we must bring up children, and our sexuality helps bind us together, but was meant for small bands not cities with all the temptation that surrounds us.

So as we look at the problems which beset us, as people wonder about the solutions like the naked ape we are we seem to turn to simple solutions and cling to them desperately in the East they turn to extreme religion with the hollow promises it seems to give.

Here we cling to the concept that democracy as it seems so just and fair, it must be the right solution, let's truly hope it can come up with it. As someone that enjoys the freedoms of a modern society i do hope so.
