00 The exercise I've recommended will help you deal with most reporters. Believe it or not, most of them are honest, hardworking and underpaid. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. How would you answer if someone asked you this 00 loaded question 00 : "How many ways do you know to kill someone?" In a case like this, what you have to do is deflect the stupid question while answering one you want to answer. Instead of calling the reporter a jerk for asking such a dumb question, you might point out that killing people isn't really what Ninjutsu is about and explain what Ninjutsu really is about. Easier said than done, but then that's life, isn't it? 0-

00 I asked about 'loaded question' because I often hear that term at work. A person might say, "oh boy, that's a loaded question," when asked to answer a difficult question. But I felt many people misuse the term without fully understanding what it means. 0-
