Okay, but you have taken a position. You advocate a side and solution. "Wear a mask". What if you spent a very long time debating the issue then when I said "So what is a solution you are expecting from government?" If you offer none, your silence is part of the problem. Because if someone read your opinion and then left with no solution, it's something you should have done. If you are well informed on the topic, an eductaed person, say someone who understands physics and time dilation, you should be expected to formulate some type of SOLUTION that helps others rather than offering ZERO. Why else would you talk, talk, talk?

@Flowerwall No, not always. When the hole in the Ozone was growing no one knew why, some very smart guys figured out how chlorine in CFCs was destroying the ozone, then they advised us.
First define the problem.
You can't propose a meaningful solution before you actually understand the problem.
That's why the Republicans were doomed to fail.
Solutions are and should always be rarer than problems.

@Willow_Wisp The problem was VERY CLEARLY defined by the debater. There was no lack of understanding. There was a self-assuredness that surpasses the best, brightest of leaders, yet NO SOLUTION OFFERED. The individual needs to spend much more time in solutions orientated avenues. Until that time I see the person as part of the problem, well in this one particular instance.
