Alanocu, Hey! If you add a friend request I could find you there without your having to disclose your NV name here.

Seems like articles like this only have a limited scope of audience. People on NewsVine seem to appreciate debating mainstream points of view. Anything attempting to make a vertical rise of consciousness rather than horizontal seem to only be appreciated by a certain mind.
