Christoffer "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." Eleanor Roosevelt
earlier you said: That is, during the two hours we sat there in the sun, no analysis of any kind accompanied the statements of observation that was all the Americans conversation was constructed of. It was ALL statement. The sad part is that their way of thinking gets carried through to their actions. I see most people acting on impulse without reasoning or thinking about the consequences. Even the credit cards advertisements on TV encourage people to live for the moment. I noticed that years ago when some friends asked me to help them shop for a car. My first question would be " what is your budget?", their reaction would be " aren't you supposed to be asking what color i want?". That's why, in general, the public, policy makers ( national and international) and politicians in the US tend to be reactionary as opposed to actionary. In journalism school I was taught the 4Ws and the H. Where, When, Who, Why and How Well, the most of important of all, the WHY, tend to be missing from our lexicon Khaled Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
