Quotation for anytime - Mencken
Back by popular demand:
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
H.L. Mencken
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
H.L. Mencken



Actually, I believe this was the exact Mencken quote uttered by the creator of the 10-10 video as he finished his editing.

Slit throats, blow up heads...when a normal man gets to that stage, why quibble?

Thank you for the kind words. I love this quote and it has been printed, framed and placed on the wall of my office.
Alongside: "It's better to be the hammer than the nail", "You can't pee like a puppy if you want to run with the wolves", "Equality is for Sheep. Be better or get sheared" and “If there is one thing I am learning as I age, it is that all of our experiences, good and bad, contribute in ways we never could have imagined to the value we ultimately bring to the world. So I have become more accepting of things that happen because I believe they will improve me in the long run”.
Keep up the good work.....RJV
