Deconstructing any article I post is fair game -- so long as the topic doesn't become a game of blaming the messenger or uncritically dismissing the information via way of the messenger.

Again, for me, I think even kids at the age of 12 should be learning how to call bullshit. I was getting just that kind of an education from a public school system in Indiana, and I thank the gods I did get it.

In an age of information -- where information shapes so much democracy and value -- teaching critical thinking is more vital than math or English.
