John James hasn’t posted on Mises.org in a week…
hes burning out.
I dont blame him 6k posts…
John James does not burn out. He puts his left hand into his pocket (his left pants pocket) and stares off-screen.
I think you guys just don’t wanna accept that JJ and I are having a slight lovers’ quarrel.
Wanna talk about it, buddy?
Wheylous, don’t lie. We all know that he cheated on you with that dirty minarchist whore over on the Ron Paul forums. It’s okay, you can let out the pain here.

I got 90% too. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that you got the goddess of the rainbow wrong. I know I did :.

Note, my following post must be read with this as background music. Please do not read the post without the music. It adds a lot:
I… I…
…
He… he said he would only love an anarchist, that he appreciated my freedom of spirit, my understanding of economics, how clear my mind was of all those logical fallacies. He said he knew that when he came home from work, tired of everyone asking him “but WHO will make the roads?” he’d have a strong, supportive man on his side and a warm dinner on the table. He said that my belief in the free market was inspiring, that my commitment to fighting for the cause of liberty was uplifting, that whenever he saw the spark of freedom in my eye he knew that the world would become a better place, that the darkness can be beaten back, that the human element will return to this cursed world…
…
He even wrote me a poem:
Every time you smile, a new sun is born -
A bright, tempestuous ball of fire whirling with sparks and energy and life!
Whenever I’m with you every breath counts,
because when you breathe in you draw me to you like the sea,
and I’m powerless;
and when you breathe out,
it’s a gentle summer breeze -
the extract of life -
the feeling that blooms in you that says
“yes, this is why life is worth living,”
and you never want to die, because the breeze will stop.
And when I look into your eyes,
I see the world reflected in them;
and when you blink,
my world vanishes,
and I’m lost…
and when you open your eyes again,
my world is born once more,
and then I’m found.
So smile! Smile and let a thousand new suns light up our universe!
Breathe, so that I may know what life is!
And never blink,
so that I never lose my world…
so that I never lose you…
Because they’re one and the same…
And you know that he actually sent it to me because you can look it up and not find it anywhere online. I believed in him! I thought that he understood me! I thought that he cared. That he would never go away…
But while I was away… I got an email… from him. He… he sent it to me accidentally. It was meant for someone else, but the “to” field was automatically filled in.
In this letter…
Oh, God, it hurts to write this…
He wrote to that minarchist from the Ron Paul forums… “Lucy.”
He… he compromised his values. He said things he would never say to me. He said that he didn’t care about anarchy, that he loved her, that he loved the structure she believed the world needed. That government can be just, that it can improve upon market outcomes in a Pareto efficient way without deadweight losses. He… he used neoclassical welfare analysis, completely ignoring Rothbard’s thorough critique and rebuilding of the field…
He said that state police was better. Better equipped, better trained, more just, less prone to warlords taking over…
He even said… oh, gosh… He said that the roads should be public, that libertarianism suffered from the encirclement problem.
And if this wasn’t enough to rend my heart apart… he… he said that Intellectual Property was the only thing that allowed technological innovation. Can you believe it? Ignoring centuries of history, of theory, of truth.
John James, where have you strayed? How has that filthy snake changed you? Can you ever come back into my strong, muscular arms?
I miss the feeling of running my fingers through your hair, of you whispering softly in my ear about Block’s newest article about voluntary slavery…
Every touch - every word was a treasure to me.
And now…
So please tell me was it all a lie?
Did you want to see me bleed? Did you want to see me die?
Was every heart you sent me part of a big joke?
Did you want to build my dreams just to see 'em go up in smoke?
Every time I wrote “I love you” I wanted to say
so much more than those three words could possibly convey…
And now I don’t know what to do…
All that I know is my heart only beats for you…
And now I don’t know what to do…
All that I know is my heart only beats for you…
Can we ever be together again? Will you accept me with all my wretched anarchy? Can I ever accept you after this devious act?
My mind tells me to turn away and follow another road, but my heart cries out for only one man… John James…
I love this forum.
