Dear askbrowning,

 

Do you just make up all these questions or are real people actually writing to you?

 

Sincerely,

Dear askbrowning,

            A friend of mine recently started smoking cigarettes, and I was wondering if you had any ideas of how to confront him about the addictive properties and health risks of cigarettes.

                                    Sincerely,

                                                Matt (Kalamazoo, MI)

Dear askbrowning,

            Have you ever done that thing, where you write a letter to someone but instead of sending it to that person you send the letter to a newspaper to publish or post it on the internet?  I think it's called an "open letter."

                       

                                                Best Wishes,

                                                            Dr. Steve (Newberg, OR)

Dear askbrowning,

I am a just finishing up my junior year in high school and am planning on taking the ACTs and SATs sometime soon. I am looking into some test prep courses and books, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions, since you are a high school graduate and all. You are a high school graduate, right?

Sincerely,

Billy (Madison, WI)

 

Technical Difficulties

We apologize as we are currently experiencing a few technical problems (registration and some sections). The good news is these problems are the pre-cursor to a new site we are working on (both in design and philosophy). In the short term, we hope to fix these problems soon. Thanks for your patience.

About "askbrowning"

Along with a discussion of wonder comes questions. Questions about the meaning of life, questions about the origins of life, questions about why all of Nickelback's songs sound exactly the same.

Of course there are times when we must allow mystery to be mysterious, but at other times that is not enough. There are those of us who must ask the questions that burn in our guts like a fire that is really, really, really hot; so hot that it's not even orange, but is a blue-colored flame fire. But where in this world shall we turn when our guts burn with these questions? Who among us can we ask these questions of? When there is no one else to ask... ASKBROWNING.

That is why we at rednow have created the askbrowning section. If you have a question that perplexes, please hesitate no longer; send your question to askbrowning [at] rednow [dot] com.
