The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Of Course You're a Critical Thinker. And, Surely Your Children Are, Also.

If you went out into our streets and polled the next 10,000 citizens who passed by, I doubt many would admit to making bad decisions. Most would view themselves as critical thinkers even if they'd never heard the word before.

Obviously, most of us are not critical thinkers and most of us don't even know the basics of trying to make

reasoned rational decisions. Think I'm wrong? Well, folks if I were wrong, overnight all chiropractors, Reiki masters, homeopaths, naturopaths, and so on, would disappear.

Actually, this post is about kids and teaching them critical thinking skills. Take a look here.
