  1. I do like the manner in which you have presented this particular challenge and it does indeed present me personally some fodder for thought. Nonetheless, coming from just what I have seen, I basically trust when the actual reviews pile on that people today stay on issue and don’t start upon a tirade of the news of the day. Still, thank you for this superb piece and while I can not necessarily concur with the idea in totality, I value the point of view.
