 If the U.S. comes unraveled, what will happen to Canada?

It's likely this nonsense will happen all over the world.

I am glad I am getting into old age now.  I can't imagine being a young person today.

Obituary:  Famous palaeoanthropologist Richard Leakey, 77, has died in Kenya:


Just a few years later, in 1984, he would enjoy his most famous fossil find: the uncovering of a near-complete Homo erectus skeleton during one of his digs. Nicknamed Turkana Boy, it dated from approximately 1.5m years ago and is the most complete fossil skeleton of a human ancestor ever found.

During this decade Leakey became one of the world’s leading voices against the then legal global ivory trade. In 1989 the Kenyan president Daniel arap Moi appointed him to lead the national wildlife agency, which became the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

Softly spoken and seemingly devoid of personal vanity, Leakey’s campaigning methods could nevertheless be eye-catching.
