Gleaning Facebook: H.L. Menchen on Radicals


“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve 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.” - H.L. Mencken

Gleaning Facebook is series of posts, sometime short quotes like this, that preserve bits and pieces from my Facebook wanderings and ponderings. Here I can access them more easlily.
