Every time we focus on the president, the pope. Whatever figurehead. That distracts from real solutions.

Often they use thoughts like

"help us, Obama or Mitt"


notice those two sentences put together, help us, Obama or Mitt.

It's a mindset that is a trap because both Obama and mitt are fake and in addition to that, real people who want to discuss the content that is going to lead to solutions, gets ignored by focuses on that fake identity of names.

What you should be thinking of is not names of people, but of solutions to problems.

For every name you mention of an event, you lose a chance to talk about a solution to an actual problem.
