    Helbling: Critical thinking is critical (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    While discussing a recent column, a friend commented on a bumper sticker he saw which read: “Critical thinking: The other national deficit”. He voiced his concern that the people who really need to read my columns do not because it requires them to think about who they are and how they became the people they are, and that takes some (possibly uncomfortable) self-reflection and work. I share my friend’s concern to some extent, as I really have no way to gauge whether my columns are reaching

In other words, I asked you to recall an experience that led you to choose Prescott as your place to live, work, and possibly raise your family.
