Something happens. People get upset. But then others who are out to defend the indefensible, start to lure people into bickering about the details. When they are successful - we wind up missing what was center to the whole event - we lose sight of what went wrong.

The next time someone tries to change the subject or clog the issue with unimportant details - move on. It's just a tactic to avoid admission of the obvious.

It frustrates me to see how often people (no matter the issue) refuse to see what is around them and refuse to hear it explained and deny its existence wholeheartedly.
