Well and truly said. But my frustration is that the public debate has not moved far beyond the stage of settling on a common vocabulary. No party will cede to the other's framing of the issues because that would admit defeat. Thus we have a stalemate. Skipping this stage and cutting to the chase may not be the best strategy for "winning", but it stands a chance of actually generating some insight.


Not settling the vocabulary is so very useful. You can always retreat behind your semantic wall and declare victory :P
