Hi Meria, why don’t you invite that high school valedictorian, Erica Goldstone for an interview on your show? I think it would be interesting to hear what else she has to say. Yours truly, Edward Safranski.
If someone has the time to track her down for me I will. I’ve been inundated with work lately and loads of Mercury retrograde “surprises”. Thanks Eddie!
I listened to this show before I left for work. I can imagine that some people might become a bit bored with the “critical thinking” topic that you and Richard discussed again, but I believe it is something we all need to hear several MORE times before we finally and firmly “get” how important this really is – and how little critical thinking we are encouraged to do in our daily lives.
