As has long been a tradition of the Intramuralist, every now and then I enjoy taking a quick glance at the nation’s headlines, just to get a pulse on what people are talking about. Also, of course, I enjoy the insightful questions embedded in those headlines.
(Remember: the question mark is the only punctuation piece that actually invites a response.)
Nonetheless, while on spring break, the following questions — which themselves served as actual headlines — got my attention:
“Whose Luck Runs Out in Final Four?”
“What If George W. Bush Spied on Obama in 2008?”
“Is Obamacare a Lifesaver?”
“Why Can’t Politicians Work Together?”
“When Is It OK for Democrats to Work with Trump?”
“What Do Republicans Do Now?”
“Is Russia America’s Enemy?”
“What’s Next for Gold, the Dollar, and the Stock Market?”
“Think Tax Reform Will Be Easy for Trump?”
“Does Believing in God Make You a Better American?”
“Why Is Water Sacred to Native Americans?”
“If Gorsuch Can’t Be Confirmed, Who Can?”
“Why Are Baseball Games So Darn Long?”
“Is a Secular America a Worse America?”
(… and perhaps my favorite — at least in the non-polarizing category…)
“Dancing With the Stars: Who Will Win Season 24?”
Let me always offer the freedom not to answer the questions; some questions, in fact, are impossible to answer. Some questions I simply don’t like.
But almost always, the asking and entertaining of a question is key to further understanding. Further understanding would be wise for us all…
… always.
Respectfully…
