		<description><![CDATA[    Honor the dead you do not know With kindness for the living you do.   The ribbons, pictures posted, crying eagles bring no one back. Bring no comfort Make no difference They are the helpless hand-wringing of the powerless. And you are not powerless.   Instead, honor the dead you do not know.

But sometimes, the the middle of all that, something perfect happens.

		<description><![CDATA[The story of Ivan, a silverback gorilla who is making a life living in a run-down shopping mall, is heartbreaking and hilarious and triumphant all at once. Applegate masterfully tells the tale in the voice of Ivan himself, and it is his plain-spoken, wry humor (and talk of making poo-balls for annoying onlookers), that keeps the story from turning saccharine-sweet.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notgoingpostal.com&#038;blog=6105427&#038;post=1580&#038;subd=notgoingpostal&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
