Critical thinking as defined by Dictionary.com is the mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusion.

I was a Liberal for about 1 year--- Along with being a college student I became a member of PETA and my Sociology & Philosophy Profs could do or say no wrong... One day my very liberal... dare I say... Socialist professor stood in front of class and exclaimed, "Question Authority!!" He then went into a long diatribe as to why those folks (on the right) should be questioned... Well... this girl after a period of time thought to herself... "Why should only those on the right be questioned?"

Americans should do more of that...critical thinking... If you watch the network news... question what they are presenting...if you read something question it's accuracy. It is good and should be encouraged to read and gather information from several sources... Facts are facts...

When did they quit teaching critical thinking in schools... why are parents oblivious?

Global warming is real.
The recession is over.
Acorn only has a few bad seeds.
National healthcare is an awesome idea.
Republicans hate Olympic athletes and are relived Chicago will not be the sight of the 2016 games.
What the President and current Congress are pushing for is NOT Socialism.
Michael Moore tells the truth.
Letting Israel fend for themselves is OK.
Cutting the DOD budget makes sense.
We are safer today than we were prior to 9/11.
The recession is over.

Now get to work... check the facts... the facts never lie.

Have a great week everyone!

Do You Take One Lump or Two Lumps With Your Tea?

It's nearly time.

I'll be with you all in spirit but who knows, maybe I'll find a couple of folks at work interested in attending a tea party at lunch.

God Speed to those of you attending-- Please be careful--- be safe--- do not let any protestor-trolls bait you into anything but a peaceful protest.

Take lots of pictures and videos. Document. Document. Document.

Tossing Tea Bags!

The Cincinnati Tea Party was a success. These are a couple of my favorites... The rest can be viewed at Cathy's Flickr.

Among those in the photos are my Scooter Trash Hubby, Mom, Friends Rob, Jo, baby girl River and Kyle.

The speakers were pithy and terrific. The crowd happy to be there.... polite, smiling, friendly... and if you work downtown... spend tons of money at Graeter's... not just because it is the best ice cream ever... but because he wasn't selling tea...

Ramble:

This needs to be quick... I have posters to make this morning. Heading off to the Cincinnati Tea Party this afternoon. It should be a good turnout... Scootertrash Hubby, Mom, our friends are heading up... I plan to take a bunch of pics and will post them this evening upon my return.

On Friday, Scooter Trash Hubby went to a "We Surround Them" event. Go visit The 9/12 Project. I spent quite a bit of time there... hence the quick post here.

This is all encouraging.... the American people are taking a stand... good stuff.

Have a great week everyone!
