It annoys me when people dismiss some issues wholly just because there are other "more important" issues to deal with. If we only focused on the absolutely most vital issues and ignored everything else, society would crumble and quality of life would plummet. Stop dismissing important issues just because there might be other ones out there that are technically more important.
"We shouldn't be focusing on education and infrastructure right now because ISIS!" - this logic
Its not that there are issue that are more important, its that this issue is of
no importance. It is completely irrelevant and just distracts the country from real news and divides people.
If you don't want to celebrate Columbus Day then don't, nobody is forcing you, just like nobody forces anyone to celebrate Christmas just because it is a holiday.
