Yes, problems do need to be identified and framed. I won't stop pointing out the contradictions and injustices I see, but what I will do is couple these with a solution going forward. It might not be the best solution, but, at least there will be something to react to. Appreciate the comment Bob.

National figures are reluctant to offer solutions to complex problems because they can not be explained quickly and they are easily mischaracterized in a sound bite. Still they could do better at framing solutions. On a different set of problems, the population is in denial and first they need to recognize there is a problem before we can assemble the resources and encourage the necessary cooperation to clearly define the problem and then work towards a solution. The people who have the courage to point out the inevitable contradictions and inconsistencies that are associated with such problems may not have the solutions. So they must proceed with humility but not with timidity. I don’t entirely agree, There are times to point out problems and then offer solutions.
