AND if you FOR THE FIRST TIME, w/no prior knowledge saw a gorilla--just what
the HELL would you suppose it was? Another primate, to be sure. Objectionable
by our standards to kill? Yes, although we know not the circumstances. They do
charge when threatened. Less objectionable than killing a homo sapiens? Maybe
not. Was it of The Tribe? No it was an effing gorilla.

You're using this piss-weak presumption to bolster up an argument that ties
all of this in with Mussolini--an argument that does not depict without the
imperialist-murderer pivot upon which it all swings. Or doesn't. Go read the
periplus Jonathan. I believe it is in the Hakluyt Library.
