Your question is fair and reasonable but I can not answer it because of time and its complexity. I am sure you will eventually find the answer... 
I have been asking similar questions over a period of time. I have found the important answers that mattered to me which changed my mind.
So I will vote YES because I know that what I will be voting for can not be worst than what we got now. But the change will make me feel better because I will have a new sense of belonging and so will my descendants.
Did you watch 60 minutes tonight?

Good luck,
