Introduction

Troubled by a continuum of conflict, with an apparent variety of causes, dominating our existence I asked why? The answer is a question of meaning I present in a poem, a precis and an essay each aptly titled "The Last Why". All other writings are derivatives. I welcome comments and much appreciate sharing. Thank you. Doug.E.Barr

COMPUTER 101

That I have this web site is due to the genius of "squarespace". Most times when my finger is poised over the left click, I feel like that handy woman in the Rona commercial. She is dressed in work clothes complete with hard hat and goggles, facing the side of a house with an impact drill in hand.

Her face expresses grave concern. The narrator asks in a drawn out cadence " W h a t ' s  t h i s , h e s i t a t i o n ? "; and then says in a tone of encouragement, "Go ahead. You can do it. You are a handy woman".

As the camera position changes from facing the woman to a shot from behind, the woman cautiously touches the drill to the wall....and the house collapses.

TOTAL KNOWLEDGE LEFT BEHIND

no seed grows within the silicon sands of technology
but flowers bloom forever in the thoughts of humanity
