as pious "saved" men seeking funds for far off evangelistic missions (to pirates on the high seas, no less), and
as learned doctors of phrenology (who can barely spell). Mencken read the novel
as a story of America's hilarious dark side, a place where democracy,

as bitcoin; no one steals money off Fedwire or Visa’s system, it is the edges of the network that are the most vulnerable"
punkman: "
