I found your article to be a bit rambling, more like a stream of thoughts than a coherent essay. Some editing wouldn't hurt in polishing the article (the acronym "LOL" seems inappropriate). What I got out of it was a general anti-materialism, anti-commercialism message infused with naturalist imagery. Your reference near the end to "global choices" was somewhat baffling. Perhaps you could explain.
I am ambivalent about your use of your excellent looks for political purposes, though I find it intriguing. In my opinion, it's a well-deserved insult to the overeager males posting here.

My intent is to attract a new market sector to become interested in global issues, politics, thought etc and as much as I love Senator Pat Roberts I am sure he would not attract quite the same crown I would. I believe the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expect different results hence I am trying a new "marketing" strategy. Maybe more people would be interested in politics if it was packaged a little differently.

We use different terminology in Australia and I do not want my writing to sound like all the other articles but to be raw and primitive which does reflect a part of me. It is a writing style that does differentiate me from other authors in America. Are you still reading? I am good at bs though. :) "LOL" is used since it is intended to be informal and that is the jargon on the web.

Oh, in the introductory paragraph I mention my thoughts are a collection from my world travels so it was a "tie up" on global issues.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. :)

Hey budd -

Are you talking about me?

Are you talking about me?

I liked the articles - (and the pictures too.) I took her comment about global choices to mean that there are several other meaningful ways practiced by other cultures that could enrich our lives (especially the poorer ones) then to be so caught up on materialistic pleasures so common here in America.

So there.
