Quote from H. L. Mencken "The whole drift of our law is toward the absolute prohibition of all ideas that diverge in the slightest form from the accepted platitudes, and behind that drift of law there is a far more potent force of growing custom, and under that custom there is a natural philosophy which erects conformity into the noblest of virtues and the free functioning of personality into a capital crime against society." by: H.

The New Republic , called Mencken "the civilized consciousness of America realizing the grossness of its manners and mind and crying out in horror and chagrin." For nearly 40 years, Mencken was a towering figure on the American scene. He was the scourge of boobus Americanus, nemesis of "bureaucrats, policemen, wowsers, snouters, smellers, uplifters, lawyers, bishops, and all other sworn enemies of the free man." Nearly a half-century after his death, he still has a devoted, if diminished, following.

Henry Louis Mencken Quotes Imagine the Creator as a low comedian, and at once the world becomes explicable. Creator: a comedian whose audience is afraid to laugh. Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy. The only really happy folk are married women and single men. A good [politician] is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar. There is only one honest impulse at the bottom of Puritanism, and that is the impulse to punish the man with a superior capacity for happiness. All zoos actually offer the public, in return for the taxes spent upon them, is a form of idle witless amusment, compared to which a visit to the state penitentiary, or even a state legislature in session, is informing, stimulating and enobling. Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody is looking. A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind. Don't overestimate the decency of the human race.

76. Chiropractic: An Essay By H.L. Mencken HL Mencken. This preposterous quackery flourishes lushIy in the back reaches of Henry Louis Mencken (18801956) was a controversial American journalist, http://www.chirobase.org/12Hx/mencken.html

Chirobase Home Page Chiropractic (1924) H.L. Mencken Homo americanus is improved to that extent. And every time a chiropractor spits on his hands and proceeds to treat a gastric ulcer by stretching the backbone the same high end is achieved. Where is there is such a committee to be found? I undertake to nominate it at ten minutes' notice. The land swarms with men competent in anatomy and pathology, and yet not engaged as doctors. There are thousands of hospitals, with endless clinical material. I offer to supply the committee with cigars and music during the test. I offer, further, to supply both the committee and the chiropractors with sound wet goods. I offer, finally, to give a bawdy banquet to the whole Medical Trust at the conclusion of the proceedings. Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was a controversial American journalist, essayist and literary critic. During the 1920s, he became famous for his vitriolic attacks on what he considered to be the hypocrisy, stupidity, and bigotry of much of American life. For obvious reasons, his critics considered him highly skilled at satire but intolerant and often crude. This essay was published in the Baltimore Evening Sun in December 1924. Although the medical knowledge of his day was still quite primitive, Mencken knew enough to realize that chiropractic theory was preposterous. Chirobase Home Page
