booger in the nose of progress

anything that impedes positive social or organizational evolution; a hindrance to social progress

the constant infighting over America's alleged role as world policeman is a booger in the nose of progress

getting bogged down in logistics and semantic quibbles instead of seeking true consensus is a booger in the nose of progress; can't we just lay our differences aside and find common ground in our shared interests?

we all live on one fragile planet: this quibbling about economics while our world dies is a booger in the nose of progress!
