Read more... React less...

As we approach a new year with renewed conviction, perhaps we should take the time for critical thinking...

I'm still reviewing the data on these contrasting perspectives:

The second was provided by a PhD (tenured Economics Professor)

I'll need to continue reflecting on the scientific and ethical implications of BOTH sides of the argument.
