I glad you found it convincing Ed. Because I want to people to understand what's happening. Enough of us need to clearly see the desperate nature of the situation that we put aside all other considerations.

Here's my acid test as a communicator. Do you think this piece would convince others?

Specifically, do you think you could convince someone using this article?

I'm not asking you to go out and try.

I'm asking you to think about how well the article works as argument and persuasion. Help me hone my blade.

What could I do to make it more convincing, more accessible.?
