Failure to Answer a Specific Question
Whenever a question is asked, in most cases, it’s not unreasonable to expect an answer to the question. If a question is asked and you didn’t receive a specific answer to the question, there is a reason for this. In 1988 while on the campaign trail, Al Gore was asked if he ever smoked marijuana. He responded with the following answer:
“I don’t think this is an appropriate question. If you’re asking me have I done that as an adult in my career; the answer is no. Have I done anything within the last 15 years; the answer is no. Did I experiment in college as a college student; my answer is that’s an inappropriate question.” (4)
Parts of this statement could be the truth, but he failed to answer the original
