"It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority!"
...our own Ben Franklin said that waaay back in the late 1700s.
But, you know something, I wonder how many people today have any true understanding whatsoever of HOW to question, WHEN to question and WHAT to question? I feel that too many Americans question incorrectly. TV continues, now, to demonstrate a 'free-for-all' attitude, possibly dating back to that infamous Jerry Springer show, and continuing on today with the major news "experts" taking on opposing views. Try respect...manners and a thorough knowledge of what the heck you are questioning and why! Speaking "out" withOUT one iota of knowing what they're talking about and especially hearing some comment on TV that sounds OK and using them, true or not, to fortify their own questioning, I shake my head in amazement. Also, have we forgotten that old style of actually LISTENING to the other 'side'?
Hey, think for yourself...reason out for yourself, then get passionate, please, with respect!
