Sorry, but I can't see any answer in there at all. 

You (PIR) are saying that stability and security will be harmed. When asked 
how, you come back with nothing of any actual consequence that answers the 
question.

You instead go on about how wonderful you all are and how much you care about 
"stuff".

You don't actually show any clear examples of real, tangible, harm and how it 
could be done to anyone if the current status quo were changed.
