Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

I think H.L. Mencken shocked philistines everywhere by simply telling the naked truth. As Bertrand Russell observed : " Nakedness is shocking to all right minded people and so is the truth " .
Whether he was talking about American plutocrats , politicians , socialists, journalists, Nazis or Jews Mencken rarely crossed the line beyond demonstrable TRUTH .
But I do wonder : was he wrong about the blessings of alcohol ?
He could see the merits in great American authors -like Theodore Dreiser - before other professional sensitive souls did.
