HL Mencken
Henry Louis Mencken is an American journalist, essayist, satirist, cultural critic, and English scholar. He has commented extensively on social contexts, literature, music, prominent politicians and contemporary movements. His sarcastic report from Range Testing, which he calls "The Monkey Test," also caught his attention. As a researcher, Mencken is known for The American Language, an episodic study of the use of the English language in the United States. An admirer of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who was frankly opposed to organized religion, theism, populism and representative democracy, he ultimately viewed it as a system in which modest men dominate their superiors. Mencken is a supporter of scientific progress and is very important for chiropractic and orthopedic methods. He is also an open-minded critic of economics.
