Rayn: The sad state of $tatism…
“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars: the men they detest most iolently are those who try to tell the truth.” – H.L. Mencken
Steve L.: “The truth, indeed, is something that mankind, for some mysterious reason, instinctively dislikes. Every man who tries to tell it is unpopular, and even when, by the sheer strength of his case, he prevails, he is put down as a scoundrel.” ~ Chicago Tribune (23 May 1926), Henry Louis Mencken
