Pros and cons - Pros and cons are arguments for or against a particular issue. Pros are arguments which aim to promote the issue, while cons suggest points against it. The term has been in use since the 16th century and is a shortening of a Latin phrase, pro et contra, which means “for and against.” Considering the pros and cons of an issue is a very useful way to weigh the issue thoughtfully and reach an informed decision.

L'acuta punta--venne a configgere,
E con note indefesse
Questo cantico impresse:
En las entranas ya
El hierro llevo con que abrio tu mano
La ancha herida mortal!
Go make an inquisition
Into their real condition
As swiftly as ye may.
E intorno, intorno--con suon monotono,
Sotto le arcate fosche,
Ronzavano le mosche.
Chiude la baja--con braccia immani;
Ivi approdarono--Libii e Fenici
Mori ed Ispani.
Conned between the lines; instead
History was a war or two
And ninety hundred million dad.
