About this Quote

This quote by David Cross talks to the concept that decal are too simple and fail to record the complexity of any given problem. He suggests that by minimizing a complicated concern to a couple of words, we are painting ourselves into a corner and restricting our capability to believe critically about the problem. He suggests that bumper stickers are too reductive and stop working to record the subtleties of any offered issue. By counting on bumper stickers, we are not participating in meaningful discussion or considering the intricacies of the issue. Rather, we are depending on a few words to represent our viewpoint, which is not an accurate representation of our beliefs. Ultimately, David Cross is suggesting that bumper stickers are not a reliable way to communicate our beliefs and opinions.
