America is not people who fly their flags out in the open.
It is people who ask their questions out in the open.
America is a conversation
that takes form around a whole set of questions
that are not easily asked...
so that it takes courage and the commitment of many lives
to ask them properly and ask them well.
May the courage of our questions make us sane.

which the whole and part embody, contain or connect with each
other. The resulting lessons are explicitly applied to the challenge
of evoking the wisdom of the whole on behalf of the whole.
