Complexity

It seems to me that we have allowed our political culture and media to drift into a kind of senility. It is almost impossible to believe we are capable as a nation of having a national argument that has any level of complexity at all. Discussions of Keynesian policy, climate change and energy policy, even the life and death decisions of how and when we use military power--seem abandoned if the argument cannot be made in 30 seconds or less.
