Thanks Randall

Wonderful zoo. Glad they got it back.

They were also using their perks as heads of zoo to benefit their families- lots of free stuff on zoo dime.

We have a membership, love all the conservation initiatives despite that period of poor leadership

I thought it already was. Though I really only know the zoo being where Jack Hanna was from

If anything is going to make someone feel hopeless, it's reading that book. I don't recall anything about it at the end being uplifting at all.

THE NOTE:

"Believe Trent – Believe You are loved and respected! So let's get going, the ride may be bumpy but we will get there. When you believe in you as much as I do you will be there. Dad"

Good news. Now go back and rename them something not stupid similar.

The book, sure. The folded personal note that fell out of it, however, isn't something one would donate, and may still have been wanted.

They already add value to society. We don't have to contribute to capital gains to have value as human beings.

looks like the former CEO and its vice president were involved in the big cat trade

>it just does not seem like we should be building roads and i infrastructure in other countries like that. We are not the daddy of the planet, and we need to let those countries get themselves together.

It's not about being a daddy, it's about building relationships. Ghana needs capital for development, we need friends in Africa. It's not about paternalism, it's about helping each other achieve goals.

>we're e not "buying" loyalty, we're only renting it for the present.

This process is also known as "diplomacy." It's how all international relationships work and how they have always worked.

I agree, China does want to take over Africa, but it just does not seem like we should be building roads and i infrastructure in other countries like that. We are not the daddy of the planet, and we need to let those countries get themselves together. As the other post said, we're e not "buying" loyalty, we're only renting it for the present. The roads and bridges were building will last for many, many decades longer.

Awesome, now can we shield their records so that they can get hired after they pay their debt to society?

Other country’s leaders likely had their own response but the US generally doesn’t care about what another country’s leader has to say unless it’s controversial or directly related to the US

How much did Ghana invest to "Strengthen the bilateral relationship?"

I am just tired that it seems like the POTUS’ response is the most important. I do not see anyone from any other country responding. Fyi, I am American

I thought it would be that he said something mean, but he was happy the guys out

U r right of course. Thank you.

The office of the presidency is a diplomatic position too. Doesn't matter who holds it, their responses matter when signalling US sentiment.
