Apes have intelligence and hands, but lack effective communication due to the inability to control vocalization ( like birds ).
I would say that Apes have quite effective communication as do many creatures...it's just not (as) vocal. Vocal communication may be _more_ effective in many ways, but even a simple house cat does a hell of a lot more than meow if you know what to look for.
You may indeed have a valid point to make, but I have to agree this isn't it. Not only is this an appeal to authority, but the actual "authority" isn't even included.

Health Care Reform

BUT......now that I actually ~read~ something about the proposal itself, I see why Americans are debating it so much. It isn't really giving you guys a system like that in CA/EU/AU at all!
Yes, but the assumption that this legislation represents the Dem/Obama-admin's best wishes for Health care reform is not correct. Ask yourself what we would be looking at if the Conservative obstruction, and unprecedented propaganda was pealed away.
It's important to recognize that this is the best option that can be voted up in this ridiculously self-destructive political climate.
Another way to look at this is Obama's track record, say with the wall street bail out, where he made sure bankers got their million dollar bonuses - with tax dollars that came from your pocket.
Obama's purpose in bailing out wallstreet was focused on "making sure bankers got their million dollar bonuses??"...Really??
As in, he saw that the bankers were not going to get their astonishingly crass bonus, and said "well, we just can't have THAT, now can we!"??
