I didn't write this one, though - it just seems someone else did the research, linked to it, and couched it in some rather foul language to get their point across. The points they got across are pretty much identical to mine, though much, much harsher.
I'm going to go back to it now and click on some of the links. (Aside: the internet has changed how people write op-ed pieces, by allowing them to embed their proof without a single extra written word. They state it, make the statement a link, and voilĂ , point proven, whereas before, one actually had to take time out from the vitriol to explain what people would find if they looked up the reference in question.
Anyway, here it is, and be warned, if your workplace is strict about bad language, then this is definitely not work-safe: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=31250
