The Klan of the Ignorant seem to have convened. I would thought I'd have gotten AT LEATS a "post-It"!
WoW!
I didn't see ot here the interview in question ... so I only have the interpretations of others (some of dubious dredibilty) to go by.
They way that I interpreted thje question was ... that the questioner was asking an INTENTIONALLY "Open Ended" question ... a question that would allow the 'questioned" some FREEDOM to exxpresse themselves outside the standard "black and White" confines.
Long story SHORT ... it was GREAT question ... and a poor resonse from Wie.
The QUESTIONER offer Wie an Opporunity ... an opportunity to describe the DIFFICULT path that she had to travail to get to that solitary WIN.
It was a BEAUooTIFUL question ... with no answer. The questioner TEED-it-UP for Wie ... and she SHANKED it.
When I talk to people about stuff that I care about ... or that I want an HONEST answer about ... I tend to be VAGUE. I TRY to give them a sense of my drift ... and let THEM take it in the Direction that they deem appropriate. Doesn't always work out. Sometimes I'm too obtuse ... sometimes THAY are too scattered. It's an opportunity MISSED for all involved.
Wie COULD have answered the question of, "Why Here ... Why now"" with a pat response to meaningless post event correspondent barrage ... or TRIED to offer a DEEPER response. NONE would have satisfied. Thanking yer preferred GOD doesn't cut it. Nor does a blow-by-blow recap.
When the smoke CLEARS ... Michelle Wie NEEDS to answer that SIMPLE question ... "Why here ... why now". There IS a REASON ... but it's NOT VALID in an environment where Thoughlessness is King.
The question ... "Why here ... why now ..." has FAR more IMPORT than the simpleminder can glean. It's a question calling for ponderance ... soul-searching ... attaboys.
... it's the kin of qestion that one might through out IF one were interested in a substantive answer 9now or in the future).
ILG CLAIMS to be and EDJIMMYIKATER. NOT in MY State ... MAYBE in Vancouver.
Great question ... not answerable at that moment ... but a foot in the door later.
Conclusion"
BRILLIANT Question!!!
