More From H. L. Mencken

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.

Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? liberty, the greatest of all earlthy blessings - give us that precious jewel, and you may take every things else! . . . guard with jealous attention the public liberty. suspect every one who approaches that jewel.

I am worried about this word, this notion - security. i see this word, hear this word, feel this word everywhere. security check. security watch. security clearance. why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more insecure? ... why are we suddenly a nation and a people who strive for security above all else?

The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride he will see to it that others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own. probably the best test of true love of liberty in any country is the way in which minorities are treated in that country. not only should there be complete liberty in matters of religion and opinion, but complete liberty for each man to lead his life as he desires, provided only that in so doing he does not wrong his neighbor.
Wisdom Country Pride
Democracy is liberty - a liberty which does not infringe on the liberty nor encroach on the rights of others; a liberty which maintains strict discipline, and makes law its guarantee and the basis of its exercise. this alone is true liberty; this alone can produce true democracy.

We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security." everyone says "national security" to the point that we now must use the term "national security." but it is not national security that they're concerned with; it is state security. and that's a key distinction.

I remember watching meryl streep in, the river wild. there's this scene where she's has a gun pointed at her, it's absurd in a lot of ways. someone pulls a gun on her i think, i'm not really fully aware of the scene and she just, she starts, you see her terrified. and then all of a sudden she starts to burst out laughing. she starts laughing. like she can't stop laughing. because she's terrified and she's emotional and there are no rules to what you're supposed to feel. that to me is like a number one, that's the thing i have to remind myself all the time.
