There was one thing I disagreed with here and one thing I was on the fence about, but this is one of the most well-written essays I've read in a long time. Manly is witty and blunt but allowing of grace. It's an ability a lot of writers want to have but far too many lack the capacity to give it to themselves. I'll recommend this to everyone I know - it changed my outlook. I wish I had a copy to give out to everyone, too, but unfortunately, I have just the one.
