    Actually, I believe this was the exact Mencken quote uttered by the creator of the 10-10 video as he finished his editing. Bud is trying hard to leave this topic behind....

        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
