  2. @SniffCode Thanks. I may seem to be negative and defensive but these are misinterpretations of impatience with and intolerance of ignorance.
  3. @NickKristof If you can afford the extra $2/doz buy free range eggs and keep eating them. Support a local farmer. thelastwhy.ca/poems/2009/7/1…
  4. @NickKristof Your words imply we respect the fact which preceded all religious fiction thus seems common to religions. thelastwhy.ca/poem/
  5. @ladygaga Happy birthday. I hope you make it way past 27. A gift for you. Please regift for me. thelastwhy.ca/poems/2009/7/1…

  10. @onfaith @HuffPostRelig Religionists don't own reason either. Reason is owned by those of us who don't choose sides. thelastwhy.ca/poem/
  11. @brainpicker If humanity survives long enough we will know everything except the answer to "Why am I?", "The Last Why" thelastwhy.ca/poem/
  12. @JudithKto @MargaretAtwood most perceptive: "laboratory of democracy"= where we experiment with ways to divide humanity thelastwhy.ca/poems/2011/2/5…
  13. @MargaretAtwood Will #robocalls make us discard the divisive ways of living that maintain self-destructive 'democracy'? thelastwhy.ca/poems/2011/2/5…
  14. @NickKristof Have you tried using two cards, one for domestic use and the other for foreign use?
  15. @MargaretAtwood If only "90% of Canadians [were] against conflict" eh! thelastwhy.ca/poem/
  16. @NickKristof @nytimes "Guns are... available" at all to defend our vain and desperate attempts to "fill the void." thelastwhy.ca/poem/
  17. @HuffPostRelig "Whitney Houston: her unsung song": thelastwhy.ca/poems/2012/2/1…
  18. @MaryMacDonald4 In the past 30 years I had many regular Stellars at my feeder. This year none. Glad to see there are still some around.
  19. @LuvLaffen @leadnowca @margaretatwood Goethe is cursing "auto correct". He meant to write "unite and live".
  20. @LuvLaffen @leadnowca @MargaretAtwood Leaders lead groups. We need a vision that unites us and makes leaders obsolete. thelastwhy.ca/poem/
