Good point, however, I was referring to a broader scope of discussion. Such as:Seems like a pretty basic and simple question, right? So, when did we, as a society, stop asking such a basic question? Think this isn't a problem? Answer this: "when was the last time you asked "why" when considering your position on a given topic?"
More to the point, why did we stop asking why? I suddenly have an tongue-in-check answer... When Bud Dry pulled the ad campaign, "Why ask why? Drink Bud Dry." I know that's not the real answer, but thought is was funny, so I had to add it.
But, seriously, when and why did we stoop asking ourselves and each other "Why?"
What, When, How, Where, ......do not prove a motive. The question of "why" is what reveals - uncovers - proves ---> motive. Motive is the evidence lawyers must have in a court room. Without it, it's merely speculation...... imo.
- Why are guns good or bad?
- Why are public schools better than private, or the reverse?
- Why do people believe what they believe?
- Why are some people liberal, and some conservative?
- Why do you do the work you do?
- Why do you live where you live?
