The Word On The Street

Today's word on the street is "How".For too long people have been concerning themselves with all the wrong questions. Even trained professionals, journalists as they like to be called, often times focus their efforts in entirely the wrong areas. The world has gone stagnant by failing to recognize that there is more than the ever popular "five w's".

There was a time when we needed to know "why that happened" or "who it happened to", but that time has come and gone. Now what we need to know is "how that happened?"

With the answer to our problems now clearly in our laps many people are continuing with the trend and asking "how could we let this happen? How did we not change our ways sooner?"

The reality of the situation is that we cannot be faulted for our inaction. If Barbara Walters, David Letterman and even the great late Peter Jennings could not see the error in their ways, how could we be expected to do anything different? What is important is that we have seen the light, and now know that "how we can make a difference" is as simple as focusing on the h word.
