BUCKLE IN, EVERYONE, THIS GON' BE A LONG ONE!

So much to say about this topic and, as usual, it starting on Twitter was probably the wrong place. It's so hard to discuss a topic like this in detail 240 characters at a time.

It's that... well, you'll have to watch the video to understand his point!
