That was an impressively long justification for a perfectly legal business. I'm curious, though - why start a business in an industry where you've had to spend time writing essays 'reasoning through your fears', instead of just doing something you're not conflicted about, and can get fully behind without any reservations, qualifiers, or arguments?
