Ol' Hank was a very wise man and his epigrams ring true even today ...

The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is
identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply
opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is
cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than
the first one. -- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

All successful newspapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never
defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced on them,
they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else. -- H. L. Mencken (1880
- 1956)
