Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3156918, member: 1847"] I agree with this. Thing is, simple solutions, often the best solutions, tend to work when the problem is identified early, and there is a will to find a way through before the symptoms get out of control. This then presents an easy way out - treat the symptoms and ignore the disease, which is exactly what throwing up a "plethora of strawmen in an attempt to baffle people with bullshit" is - avoiding the real issue. The question then becomes, why? It happens when vested interests fail to act simply because to act means divesting themselves of their interests, looking at the bigger picture, and in fact contemplating that protecting their power and privilege may well be the source of the problem. It's easier to create straw men rather than leave the straw in the broom and start sweeping. [/QUOTE]
