"Drying Snot"
A little over a year ago I became an NOR subscriber, and have read much of every issue since. What amazes me about your magazine is that, while I very often share your point of view, after reading it I always feel the need to take a bath. The sarcastic vitriol burns and your self-righteous denunciations cling like drying snot. Cancel my subscription.

The classics could teach what virtue is, but they could not figure out a way to practice it. The Christian would argue for the help of grace. But even with grace things go wrong.
