Arlo it's always good to hear your rants.
You echoed what Carl Sagan said in his book " a demon haunted world: Science as a candle in the dark" One of the things he comments on is that the younger students (5-13 years) tend to be more inquisitive and ask more questions. As for the older ones, well it's not cool to ask questions, so when he talks to high school kids it's an uphill battle. A great little book to read is by Rose nader, in it there is an excerpt about Ralph naders's father: It's called "it happened in the kitchen", plus it has some great recipes in it. ================== Mr. Nader encouraged them to think independently, too. Once, when Ralph was coming home from school, his father said, "Hello Ralph, what did you learn today in school? did you learn to believe or how to think?" Ralph walked off scratching his head wondering what the difference is between the two. He went up to his room trying to figure it out, then he came down and said, "I learned to think today, dad." His father asked, "What do you mean?" Young Ralph said, "Well, I think I know the difference between believing and thinking. When you believe, you don't question what you're taught. But when you think, you receive what you're taught and mull it over." His father said, "Not bad. You had a good day today." ========================== 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/
