this is a very interesting article. it's a very long read. I do not vouch for its accuracy but I think it is worth the read.

LOL, anyhow

I'll stick with my original statement on mine.

I will say that the 1st one explains their methodology used to come to their conclusions. I will also acknowledge that the people who did that study are progressives.

Even though the 2nd one does not explain how he came to his conclusions, I do not doubt his credentials. His article did come off more as an opinion piece though. maybe an educated opinion.

how about you heiniken? any thoughts?

I have thoughts yes, ha.

I think it boils down to perspective when one reads these articles, as in, I'm gathering that our perspectives are coming from different places.

I've no desire to argue or point/counterpoint with you or anyone else for that matter, those days are hopefully long gone for me.
