Have you ever had a question? And the only answer could come from one particular person. How would you ask that person the question? Do you think that person’s answer would be good, better, or best for you?
I’ve thought about this and here are the questions I’ve come up with. Also, here are the men I would ask these questions, given the chance.I chose to only ask men because I want to write a separate article pertaining to questions I would ask great women.
Let’s start with my number one guy I would ask a question. Jesus. Jesus, I want to know. If you can change water into wine. Why won’t you do something for Flint, Michigan? I get that whole idea of you having to suffer for our sins but, does Flint have to suffer so much before being blessed with clean water?
MLK. I know you’re not happy with the way things have turned out. All that marching and preaching you did. If it is at all possible, can you come back and give some of those speeches? e really need not just your word but, your physical presence will be a huge help.

Confucius. You had a lot to say back in the day. Confucius said this, Confucius said that. Confucius say “Real knowledge is to know the extent of ones ignorance.” Confucius, can you please break that down? So many people need to hear this but cannot comprehend it. For some reason today’s youth thinks it’s cool to be a dummy. They think they are being smart by choosing to not use their smarts and only ‘appearing’ to be stupid because they want to be cool. And some adults were those same simple minded youth. Confucius, please help us.
Gandhi. What would you say to Betsy DeVos, Trump’s Secretary of Education? I’m pretty sure it would be something like “If we want to reach real peace in this world, we should start educating children.” Another billionaire with no experience in the field that they will manage, or mis-manage for that matter.
Steve Jobs. Do you truly believe that it is not the customer’s job to know what they want? Is this the reason you designed Siri to answer questions that I may have about simply whatever? Is it not my job to know anything anymore? With answers just a click and a question away. Who needs education, right? Study for what? I got Siri.
