Because you aren't discovering these issues on your own. They are brought to the forefront of the discussion for specific reasons. They are amplified as a distraction, not because there is a genuine concern for resolution. I say you are beholden to the barkers because this is what they put in front of your face and it's what you concern yourself with.

There are much greater issues at play in our country, and I never see you guys talking about it. At least you have an issue you're passionate that has been constant, even if it wouldn't solve anything. I rarely ever see moderates talking about anything except what's in the news. That's a form of mind control, whether you see it or not.
