Your last sentence in “The Mail” of the New Yorker needs to be on billboards, real and virtual, all over the country, and actually, the world. Keep up the good work!
Barging in on this article’s feedback forum to let you know that I was so impressed with your apearance on Rachel Maddow last night. You’re the real deal; I received the information you heartfully delivered. I have a 14 year old, struggling with whether to be or believe. I get it, and I’m trying to reinforce the idea that beliefs are what they are. And they’re important. You did an incredible job, calmly and deliberetly stating yours.

Keep up the good work – and delivery of it.
