J-A,

My remark about 'mom and apple pie' a post to x-man.  Like, who's going to criticize critical thinking???  I recently offered a web site devoted to the topic.

http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/defining-critical-thinking/766 


Now to your point.  How, not what?  Do you mean 'how' as in _what_ way, or as in _what_ manner, or by _what_ means?  Well, with care, and rhetorically with metaphor and analogy, of course.  

And what is good, Phædrus, 
And what is not good... 
Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?
