The Hydra Of Central Planning

Posted on January 30, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, we are being attacked by a hydra and the more heads we cut off, the stronger it gets. The problem with fighting a hydra is that it has many heads but one heart. All … 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 →

Astroturfed Outrage

Posted on January 28, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, most outrage today is pure Astroturf to maintain and advance a narrative. How could I say such a thing? While real outrages and atrocities go on unnoticed, minor outrages are elevated to world-threatening. For … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Blind hate requires no logic,Progressives make lives tragic,Gaslight on the go,Hoping it were so,And only think in ways demagogic. A Democrat is a foul mouthed cad,Saying anything they hate is bad,Attacking unfairness,Without self awareness,And their blind hatred makes … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Obama care made costs skyrocket,Putting big pharma firmly in his pocket,A corruptocrat’s game,Seeking power and fame,And putting our finger in a light bulb socket. Life is just grand for an NPC,They don’t think like you and me,Emotions rule,A … 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, Free healthcare for illegals is grand,Only the heartless wouldn’t join the band,Unlimited money,With jars of honey,And the citizen gets a nail in his hand. A foolish person will cast shade,Projecting in ways retrograde,Give him the mike,We must think … Continue reading →

Birds Of A Feather Flock Together

Posted on January 21, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, “birds of a feather flock together.” We can take from this that like-minded people hang out together. Moreover, this suggests that when people hang out together and support one another… they are like-minded. It … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, When asked a true believer once vied,It doesn’t matter how many have died,History is gone,You’re a pawn,Because real socialism has never been tried.

Dear friends, The legal system has a great big flaw,It exploits its authority power to claw,Corruptocracy,A Kritocracy,That abuses us under color of law. Politics are a truly deep fen,Politicians do as they ken,Power is like wine,Any system is fine,As long … Continue reading →
