And, in fact, this is a general criticism I have of Mr. Hand's opinion pieces: they are often long on "warning" and short on facts upon which he is basing his opinions. A lot of the material on TCRNews is good stuff, but Mr. Hand's opinion pieces often seem off-the-mark, or at least, not well-argued from any evidence provided in the pieces themselves.

Commentary like this comes off as hysterical and unreasoned.

Good summary. Much better than my own previous hysterical and unreasoned attempts at clarifying.

To each his own. I don't expect Hand to file a lengthy brief footnoted with references in an OPINION piece. I think it a good piece and OPINION pieces OUGHT to generate commentary. He succeeded. Look at the length of this thread
