Write a Review!
They're eating the dogs of the people who live in Springfield.
Why is it
you can’t find comprehensive information about events in the news.
Why is it
that news sources give us fantastic headlines but very few facts to support
those wildly emotional headlines?
It’s because of you.
Yes, you.
You didn’t
write a review to the paper saying something like, “I really appreciated the
information about that drug bust 6 blocks away from where I live. Because of it
I was able to make efforts to keep my family safe.”
Or perhaps
it was, “Thanks for the story about the intersection at First and Main. We need
to bring that up at council.”
Because you
didn’t support him/her they couldn’t make a living doing what nature has
designed them for and they’re now a cashier at WalMart ………. Or driving a
garbage truck.
And now you
can’t find out anything about what’s happening in your town/neighborhood/district.
All you get is the sensationalism of headlines --- sometimes having very little
to do with facts.
True, when
you buy the newspaper/magazine/novel it shows support for that author. But that
single purchase makes as great an impression on a North American writer’s world,
for example, as the ticket purchase to a Manchester football game. Writing a
review and posting at the point of sale has, in comparison, as much impact as
buying a ticket to a hockey game in that writer’s home town.
Perhaps ten
times the impact of the initial purchase? Fifty Times? And an even greater
impact if you post it on all your social media accounts.
Very few
movies win the prestigious awards because 2 million people bought
tickets. They win awards because 1 million people said Very Loudly
it deserved the award.
Yes, to the
author, a dollar from that initial purchase is important because there may not
be many coming in. But for a long-term life creating entertainment or supplying
information for people it doesn’t help.
Have you
bought a painting, book or music recording? Did you right a review? Was it a
present and did you encourage the recipient to write a review?
Why is it
that readers don’t understand how important a review is?
Why is it
your favorite author doesn’t publish anymore?

How many
times during this past summer was a lie passed off as the truth and you didn’t
say, “Horse shit!”
(Are the
family pets all gone from Springfield?)
Write a
Review!
How many
times have you heard statements that start division, hatred, racism and
destruction and you didn’t say anything to stop it?
