I think your support of this in light of your experience makes perfect sense!

This comment says it all.

Thanks for the perspective, I'm at work and cannot read the original story. I still think after reading this post and then calling people "evil" does not convey very good comprehension of it.

Oh, gotcha.

It is definitely a complicated situation with no obvious solutions, but I think, as with all things, awareness and the willingness to try to address the issue will bring more answers to light.

Wow, I learned something new today! Despite the semantics, I stand by my post, but you've certainly given me something to think about.
