The crux of your writing while sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not really sit very well with me after some time. Someplace within the sentences you were able to make me a believer unfortunately just for a short while. I nevertheless have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do nicely to help fill in all those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being impressed.
