Common Sense, Courage, Critical Thinking
Our Nation and society suffers from a horrendous shortage of three commodities:
Common sense — sound and prudent judgement based on a simple and practical assessment of facts.
Courage — the intellectual or moral strength to continue to act in the face of fear, danger, difficulty, and virulent opposition; and,
Critical thinking — the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information and data gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication in order to develop wise opinions and to make sound, fact/data-based decisions.
