"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds
discuss people." 
Eleanor Roosevelt

earlier you said:
 That is, during the two hours we sat there in the sun, no analysis of
any kind accompanied 
the statements of observation that was all the Americans conversation was

constructed of. It was ALL statement. 

The sad part is that their way of thinking gets carried through to their
actions.
I see most people acting on impulse without reasoning or thinking about
the consequences. Even the credit cards advertisements on TV encourage
people to live for the moment.

I noticed that years ago when some friends asked me to help them shop for
a car. My first question would be " what is your budget?", their reaction
would be " aren't you supposed to be asking what color i want?".

That's why, in general, the public, policy makers ( national and
international) and politicians in the US tend to be reactionary as
opposed to actionary.

In journalism school I was taught the 4Ws and the H.

Where, When, Who, Why and How

Well, the most of important of all, the WHY, tend to be missing from our
lexicon
