I think it is too simple to suggest that it's simply Mr. Harper's fault.

That's apples and oranges. It's fine to recognize what has transpired. I think it's not fair to suggest . . . that because my neighbor has a swimming pool, I have to have one.

I am not convinced my suggested methods are actually as usable as I think they are.

quite simply, they have a captive audience.

The mainstream simply leads to synthetic fulfillment.

Oftentimes figuring out how to say something simply is a complex process.
