In all this debate, people keep forgetting the thrust of my argument. The SPSF doesn't exist without costs. A lot of the debate happening in the past several posts assumes that we only gain by having the SPSF. I don't think it's a positive-sum thing anymore, and the only solution to me either abolishing it, going defender or raider, or blindly putting faith in the next random person who promises they can revitalize the SPSF to the point where the benefits do outweigh the costs.
