I was in Borders the other day and had to stand in line to buy my book next to stacks of kits that "taught" you about acupressure, meditation "using Buddhist principles" (or something like that), whatever that thing is where they put hot rocks on you, and reflexology.

I used to believe all that airy fairy stuff because I had no critical thinking skills at all. I had to learn to think and reason. I will say it again, people need to be taught to think and reason for themselves!Neecehttp://www.heavingdeadcats.com/noreply@blogger.com
