John Griogair Bell“There is a veil: that veil is black. It is the veil of the modest woman; it is the veil of sorrow, & the pall of death: this is none of me. Tear down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter.”

The Censor Board finally found its backbone—or was it just an accidental slip? Either way, the vampire administration’s tunes seem offbeat today. Will this trend last?
HeurismNo more drinking? Like ever ever?
I’m gonna be down to two “vices” here pretty soon. #vices #coldturkey
