Don't listen to (ie. read) me. This writing was never supposed to be an essay to argue for or against something. It is an almost raw braindump: just a set of links so you can do your own research and make up your mind on your own.
It isn't for pleasing anybody in eloquence, but to warn.
Hint: comments are for communicating stuff to people. Posting a braindump and pretty much saying 'just figure out what I meant for yourself' is both rude and annoying.
Personally I didn't open any of the links. But thanks for trying to educate me all the same.
