There are no simple answers, but people only want simple answers. We are entering a very dangerous time, because it is far easier to sell extreme ideas, particularly those of the right-wing, via slogans and sound-bites, while concepts from the center and left usually need explanation. The more our politicial environment is dumbed-down, the harder it becomes for moderates to be heard and the greater the temptation simply to win votes by pressing peoples' buttons.
