...Glad I didn't. I wonder if some of this gain will hold? I haven't had the time or the inclination to post in nearly 6 months. Hopefully that will change soon. Cam

My dear Mum popped around the other week for a visit and bought me a little surprise- a little pile of photographs of me that had fallen out of their albums over the years. You remember those old photo

As I mentioned in a previous post, some friends and I ran a series of 'musical challenges' last year in order to showcase our favourite music to each other. Following on from the 90s we moved onto the

A little over a year ago some good friends and I ran a few 'challenges' to get to know each other's musical tastes a little better. The first challenge was to post our seven favourite 90's songs, one song

Instead of writing something new tonight I thought I'd share this little tale I told a couple of years ago on another social media platform. Every time I remember this story I smile a little more. Ladies

I was trying to think of something to post about tonight and was having a bit of a struggle. I kinda want to post at least once a day, but I don't want to post any old rubbish either (I have muted many

Anyone who has followed me here or on Facebook for any length of time will know that I am no fan of government; neither, it seems, was H.L Mencken. He knew then, as we know now, that they are filled with

Here's another quote from that wonderful Mencken book, Notes On Democracy. Published in 1926, it may as well have been published last week because nearly every quote contained therein hits home as though

...and if you think otherwise you haven't been paying attention. The government definitely does not want you to be free and making decisions for yourself. That would be a threat to their very existence.

Quite a poetic quote from Mencken today as he describes what liberty means to him. I feel like he is describing anarchy - taking responsibility for yourself, with no man or god to blame for your failures.

I dropped an article last night my time with my thoughts on a quote from the great H.L Mencken.  A Steemian by the handle of @diginaut responded to my article thusly:- "While I am aware of the fallibility

What's an Australian bloke writing and posting memes about a Yank with a German-sounding name for? The short to medium answer is that during my journey to Anarchy I read a lot of stuff (a hell of a lot),

This meme always seems to ruffle feathers for some reason. When I posted it over on Facebook a couple of months back it had a reach of nearly 90,000 with over 1200 shares. By way of comparison my Truth

I'm a self-confessed skeptic and I take a real evidence-based approach to everything. One of the things I love about H.L Mencken is that he doesn't sound like he was one to be fooled into believing anything

You've all seen the quote by H.L Mencken - "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the

This essay is one of my favourite Mencken pieces, and I present it here in text form as it is way too large to turn into a meme. It concerns all the gods/Gods that have been worshipped over time and their

H.L Mencken This quote doesn't need any comment from me. One of the truest things Mencken wrote in the millions of words he produced in his lifetime.   “I believe that it is better to be free

H.L Mencken Prohibition doesn't work and Mencken and everyone else knew it. I suspect he would speak similarly of the failed War On Drugs of our own age.   “Five years of Prohibition have had,

H.L Mencken Leave it to Mencken to take the piss out of others in his chosen profession. If he harboured no love for the media of his day imagine how he would feel today!   “What chiefly

H.L Mencken I'm back and refreshed after an incredible weekend camping in nature, and I am ready to chew gum and rustle jimmies. And I'm all out of gum, or as we call it down here, 'chewy.' Here Mencken
