Abstract

They taught us not to ask the “good” questions. “You were asking a ‘bad question,’” I have often been told. What is a “bad” question? It is equivalent to the saying “it is more complex than you think.” They taught us not to ask what seems the most obvious to ask. For instance, why on TV, do they show war and all you see there is men [in uniform]? Why, is this war not ours as well?.
