For crap's sake, are you guys that hard up for stories? Gail McElroy's story about motorcycles & the environment sucked. I'm not even sure what her point was. Perhaps I should illustrate my criticism in a structure she'd understand: "The poor, flustered, earth-conscious woman was much too colorful and descriptive for my imagination to comprehend, said I. Alas, as I ponder the bird turd that is the human race, whatever would my father have done if his land was so forcefully raped like a prison inmate?"
Geeze. I'm an aspiring writer as well. I've got an op-ed piece about naturists and their disregard for deodorant & regular bathing. Care to take a look-see?
If, on the other hand, she was some sort of elementary school contest winner, please extend my congratulations on her mastery of a thesarus. Well done, little girl.

Zio got what I was trying to say. When I bitch about someone else's writing, it isn't entirely about grammar and punctuation. Her descriptions were over the top, her exaggerations were obvious, and she skipped around and made little to no sense. All she was trying to do was exaggerate the problem to incite an emotional response to the tragedy she thought she saw in her back yard.
