To add insult to injury, I find, that many times tried and true stereotypes - no not about people, but about places, because those are OK, right? - are easy, often too easy. So I do not mean to pick on New Jersey...So after two days at a place in the Pocono Mountains, which are in Pennsylvania (see previous posts), I headed back to Newark. On the way - shocker - there was construction. As the passenger, I snapped this photo, which, to me, appears that there is a backlog of people trying to leave the state. In reality, it's just construction traffic.
But it does underscore how many debates that we have about health care, for example, or on military policy, that if only one little slice is presented, (a) the story is obscured, (b) the solution is elusive, and (c) progress is at a standstill, if we're lucky.
This just struck me, with all that we are trying to tackle in this country, as one example of little facts, a partial story and questionable findings.
