Quick post, 7/27/15: Solutions that don't work v. those that do

The former is what the politicians want because you have to always come back to them in order to solve the problem they won't solve.  They won't solve problems because once they do, they lose their reason for existence.

The latter is the one that is rejected because people would rather believe a liar than to believe someone who is telling the truth.  A lie is more "fun", more "interesting", and "entertaining" than the truth.  The truth isn't glamorous, it just is what it is.  Boring.

The bottom line is that people would rather suffer, but only if they can make others suffer as opposed to suffering themselves, so that they can feel useful and important in comparison.
