The Greatest Weapon Never Used

"Some one once said, 'the greatest weapon, or tool, mankind has is his ability to think.' Sadly when I look at the majority of the current set of generations, of which I am heartbroken to be a part of, I see that not only are they reluctant to use their minds, but they have been taught to not think for themselves. This should not be. We should be striving to create something new. But instead we are taught to be good at following orders, and not coming up with new things. Philosophy, which is supposed to by asking and answering the question 'why?' Has become a forum for debating things that should stay in the realm of politics. I dare you to ask why and not except a one word answer, instead search for the longest in depth answer possible. That is the philosophy way."
