But, these are people I actually know, so unless they're lying I know that they don't condone that kind of behavior.

As a one time technical writer, the "We recommend . . ." bothers me. Since this sentence appears to be from a report, there should be no pronoun. Whom ever signs the report owns the text by default. Then "recommend" is wishy washy and begs to be ignored. As Yoda said, "Do. O...

From the video and my long ago days studying anthropology, I think the male silver back gorilla was “protecting” the child.
