Ms. Z's take on the Roberts piece.

Once upon a time, I referred readers to a lengthy piece by Paul William Roberts in the Globe. I hadn't finished reading it yet but I thought it had enough substance that I recommended it, my recommendation reading in its entirety, "Make yourself comfortable. It's a long read."

In all honesty, while I thought the first part of the article had some interesting things to say, I thought the last part started to wander a bit far afield. And Ms. Z weighs in as well. Apparently, there's two sides to every story.

And that's why Ms. Z is a professional at this, while the rest of us are just hacks.
