People resent being shown that they don't approach the complexities of the problem—they don't know what exists beyond the surface ripples

@Piper Some people refuse to be intellectually insulted and manipulated with spin.

And some people are quite intellectually capable of independent thought, seeing more than one side of things others see as 'black & white"..."right" or "wrong", and recognizing that many things just aren't that simple.

@Piper Yet at the same time, when some do think outside the box and entertain other possibilities, no matter how remote, they get responses such as "oh brother", "good grief!", 🙄, labeling, or personal attacks.
Make up your mind.

@Piper While not everything is black & white may be true, the problem is that most liberals think that only THEY are intellectually qualified to determine the gray areas and the 'proper' solutions.
