Do wiener dogs have knees?

There are a handful of questions in life that just don't have a good answer.  It doesn't, however, mean that they aren't good questions.  A good question is designed to have us consider the idea.

Now, obviously, I'm not seriously asking if wiener dogs have knees and I will have a point to the topic.  So, the questions is posed.  What is it that you discuss?  Whether with a cup of coffee and a colleague, a few pints and some friends or the opposite end of a phone call, conversation and discussion is eminent.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

There is a progression, conversation generally has a tendency to go in the wrong direction.  None of us are above it.  Have you ever considered your general topic of discussion?  Does it lean in one direction or another?  Do you challenge yourself to engage in topics of edification and building up, in ideas to further your intellect?

Plain and simple, "People have a tendency to talk about people."  The "why" is a good question.   Remember, whomever is a gossip to you, will be a gossip of you!

Cheers, to the quest for ideas!
