Fail to see how examining social policy and economic economic consequences is being judgmental. Society, makes decisions, examines, evaluates, discusses, etc.

Your attempt to 'muzzle' my perspective, to reduce it to the level of the absurd or inane or reprehensible, doesn't address my comments. It just means you don't think much of me. Join the list.
