Just the article titles and URLs for now, I'll post the text in a second.


EDIT: I should also note I haven't yet read all the articles, so I'm not sure what they say. If they are pro/con about any subject I'm not expressing any commentary on anything by attempting to highlight that, merely to post articles I thought were interesting based on a quick scan and the headline.
