A Bad Donkey

Posted on May 17, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a donkey that doesn’t protect the sheep isn’t much of a donkey. The reason donkeys are pastured with sheep and goats is for protection from predators. Otherwise the hay and forage a donkey eats … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Our legalist system is quite perverse,The laws seem to work in reverse,But we’re the jerks,Here’s how it works,It consumes trust to produce its inverse. The elites have been struck by Cupid,With ideas and hubris that are ill suited,To … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, What’s that protest down at the quad,Some half-wits who think they are God,The left is insane,Singing a refrain,Now they’re forming a circular firing squad. In Davos I hear the central planners met,Conniving and striving more power to get,People … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, There once was a monetary system broken,Blistering economic fires it was a stoken,Profound hedonism,Extraction mechanism,In which truth and ethics are merely a token. Monstrous deeds needs an institution,Yet always have utopia as a resolution,A spurious drink,Here’s what I … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, A jury trial was a human right my dears,Jury nullification a box for despotic ears,The right is perverted,In fact it’s inverted,When it’s really not a jury of one’s peers. Many seem great outside the tower,The mask smiles but … Continue reading →

I hate to be a Henny Penny,But rights denied are many,If you’re afraid,So stand staid,Lets face it you don’t have any. An elite is a conniving go-getter,Wicked smart but a bed wetter,They truly understood,If a standard is good,A double standard … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Central planners are smarter than you,They’re wiser and dog gone it better too,Though it’s uncanny,The needs of the many,How they always align with those of the few. Science isn’t advanced by dip and drift,But by many ideas through … Continue reading →

Pareto Is The Enemy Of Central Planning

Posted on January 25, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, once one accepts that Pareto was right, then the question shifts from how to get rid of poverty to what’s the best way to distribute wealth? If poverty can’t be eliminated, then we should … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Sooner or later the money will run out,Then the dependents will have to pout,A Ponzi scheme,A bankrupt theme,That has to end in an economic rout. The elite do ride about town,Smiling from under a crown,Filled with glee,Never as … Continue reading →

The Stupidity Of Central Planning

Posted on December 28, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, central planning is when people who don’t know how to farm tell farmers how to grow things, people who can’t build tell those who can build how, and people without a whit of common … Continue reading →
