Radicals - a few words from HL Mencken

Post by weedguru_animal »

It is assumed that men become radicals because they are naturally criminal, or because they have been bribed by Russian gold, moreover it is simply the conviction that the Government they suffer under is unbearably and incurably corrupt...The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.

a true patriot...

i can relate to the feeling of frustration and disgust with the state of the government...and its truer now more than ever especially in the US. the previous generation is leaving the country in a horrible condition. national debt grows along with the price of medicine in gas. the government is no longer there to serve the people. instead to serve the corporations while they exploit the citizens.
