 | Offshore Drilling Should Be Banned  [13+] Offshore drilling should be banned on the this planet.  |
| (3.0)  Overall Impression The implicit threat of offshore drilling to the planet and its inhabitants could not be more crucial. Unfortunately, we're too easily distracted by the next great tragedy, or the movie star who tripped. Delving Deeper I have to disagree with your editorial. In the first paragraph, you claim no one, other than you, has researched the facts on offshore drilling. Seriously? Perhaps you meant despite all the research, no one has taken action to rectify the situation. If there even can be a correction for the folly of humans. The tone is almost playful. You demand we stop drilling without exploring possible ways to change our lifestyle to make oil less of a necessity. Much of this editorial was repetitive. The fact that animals and humans suffer from exposure was stated in almost all the paragraphs, but exactly what happens due to exposure is lightly brushed over. The Arctic melting is a very tragic situation and we can’t make it worse. We are making it worse every day! An editorial should evoke a strong reaction, either for or against the author's point of view. It helps if its informative. The reaction raised in me was anger for not taking this issue more seriously and providing readers with more facts than anecdotal remarks and generalizations. Fine Tuning ▼ Closing thoughts When I read pieces that seem less than informative, I head over to the author's biography for enlightenment. Sometimes, there's a good reason. Possibly, a teenager wrote it without proper research. Perhaps this is the author's first time trying to write anything. Editorials are not easy to compose. I wish you'd given me a clue so I could accurately steer my comments. I had high hopes for this piece because the topic enrages me. I'm not here to judge; I'm only wishing for something more concrete and informative than what you've offered. If you have it, the community needs to hear it. I want to read it.  My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
