(17,728 posts)Their flags are still lowered and honestly, I have no idea why because other places aren't. However, someone asked me why they were lowered and I said, "Because Jane Goodall has died."

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
