QotD: Southern California

In Southern California the density of people thirsting for novel and unprecedented gospels is greater than anywhere else on earth. All the messiahs of new religions, new diets, new schemes of healing, new economic theories, new systems of logic, new values for pi and new technics in amour gravitate thither as surely as pickpockets gravitate toward a Shriners' Convention.

H.L. Mencken, "Dr. Townsend and His Plan", Baltimore Sun, 1939-07-02
