onto sharing an iatlon for the traditional performing Mr Davidson explained that Morris dancing a pagan fertility ritual in what Is now Oxford County England There farmers and their families would gather each spring and A message from Koko Like many other people I know one of the items on my summer agenda has been to catch up on my reading Recently I had the good fortune to read People of the Lake by anthropologist Richard Leakey Press 1978 Fart of the argument of his book is that the more we learn about our human post the more we understand the human present Along the way Leakey tells this Interesting anecdote about a Stanford University graduate student and her talking gorilla named Koko Three days after had bitten her In a fit of anger Penny Patterson the student asked the ape In sign language What did you do to Koko replied Bite You admit it Patterson continued Looking a Utile contrite Koko said she had bitten her Because mad came the answer Why mad Don know The conversation What intrigued Dr Leakey was the ability of the gorilla lo comment about past events in such a human manner But what intrigues me Is bow closely he moral character of the gorilla parallels the moral character of so many humans I have seen Innumerable examples this summer of the socalled homo sapiens behaving exactly like gorillas They bite and scratch a friend in a fit of anger Several days later over cocktails they remember They manage to grunt the words that approximate an apology And then when asked why in the world they behaved If you will excuse the pun like an animal they suddenly look terribly puzzled and say Don know Most of us are tacitly grateful that human beings are Intelligent creatures above the loWr orders of the animal world Perhaps we should reexamine our assumption I can t think of any animal that tops a human being for moodiness contrariness and sheer Under the banners of selfexpression and free to be roe we manage to bite scratch gouge and generally hurt even our friends In the best tradition of the gorilla And if anyone questions why we did all this we shrug our shoulders and go back to play In the Jungle I believe the moral character of a human being is made of sterner stuff than that of a gorilla What separates humanity from the lower orders of the animal world Is accountability People have the right to hold each other accountable for their words and actions It is not acceptable human behavior to shrug your shoulders before the hurts you may have a used and then ride merrily away on your dirt bike play In the Jungle Mere apologies are not enough when you hurt another person accountability that makes human beings what vuA CLERGY COMMENT By The Rev Thorn Bandy It Andrew United they are requires more disciplined behavior It is the human being

symbolising purity and with bells lied to their shins to ward off any evil spirits Mr Davidson a member of Toronto a Morris says there is no real similar between Morris danc ing and the more famous
