goodbye Monarch butterflies

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.09.25

On a recent trip with Opa, Ken was enthusiastic about seeing some Monarch butterfly caterpillars crawling on some milkweed plants. He knew about Monarchs because we'd seen the movie showing at the science center.

Good thing he got familiar with them when he did, cos it looks like they're dying out. Eh, who needs all these insects.

You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government. And, with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.

—George Bernard Shaw
