If i was told why i am guarding the big box with the giant question mark on the side of it i might understand and do a better job of guarding it<br /><br />-SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902141356136486160.post-65716445355273248332009-08-25T13:17:32.840-07:002009-08-25T13:17:32.840-07:00Of course we need to know and understand the purpo...Of course we need to know and understand the purpose and meaning of what we are doing and why we do it. We shouldnt ignore the question of "why" and getting to the core of it. We need to speak up.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04584269841547850043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902141356136486160.post-90732743361949145242009-08-25T12:17:32.893-07:002009-08-25T12:17:32.893-07:00Well put, Digger.Well put, Digger.Rich Stowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484250403131513299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902141356136486160.post-70851633023741278262009-08-25T09:27:46.043-07:002009-08-25T09:27:46.043-07:00Please explain what it would accomplish to instill...Please explain what it would accomplish to instill a questioning culture in the U.S. military? Ok, I just had to ask a skeptical question to preserve my chastity. Good post!<br /><br />With social media and blogging, everyone is faced more and more with this issue. Companies can't control their message entirely, nor can churches or organizations. People will pick up discussion of it somewhere else. Embracing transparency and openness is the best way to respond. If people don't like what you are doing, suppressing discussion of it (while impossible in today's world anyway, but trying to do so) doesn't change it, but rather deepens resentment and mistrust. Tackling the tough questions head on is the best approach.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223954359282866247noreply@blogger.com
