Life is complicated. Simplistic views, when they're expressed in isolation, can make some particular issue seem simple; but very few issues are really all that isolated.

I know there's almost nothing I can say about the war of words between CNN commentator Jack Cafferty and the government of the People's Republic of China that won't get myself into trouble with someone. If I sound too sympathetic toward China, people are going to questions my support for human rights, free speech, my patriotism as an American, and probably my parentage. If I blindly give CNN a good pat on the back and proclaim my sheer joy that someone was finally able to speak the truth about China, I come across as intellectually shallow - and maybe racist. What to do...

I could just say nothing. But one of the flaws in my personality is that saying nothing is hard for me.
