Things I wish I’d written

Brandon Smith: “How to become an American extremist in style.” (Tip o’ hat to Jim B. in a recent comment section.)

Douglas Herman: “All my heroes died broke, broken, not beaten.”

Both those, especially the first, sound a lot like things I have written back in the day. I’m a little jealous. OTOH, it’s nice to sit back and enjoy the first-class rants of others.

    In case you missed it, here’s a pretty interesting interview with Wendy McElroy, author of “Quietly, Quietly, the Revolution Arrives.” :

    I’m not so sure I liked her, “Have you accepted Mises into your heart” comment (posting links is bad?) but it was still interesting.

    clark — thanks for the interview link. I thought Wendy’s “Have you accepted Mises” remark was pretty funny.

    Terrifying gun collection? Well, to an unfortunately large number of people out there, a single .22LR revolver would be such. I might not be well prepared on other fronts, but, among others, I have an SKS with the shoulder thing that goes up! And it’s black! Aiiiieeeee!

    Wendy McElroy++

    Wendy is one of the libertarian movement’s top scholars. She used to be one of its top activists (hence the irony of her “Have you accepted Mises into your heart” joke [and a joke it is]) but has move away from that. Writer. Scholar. Former book store owner. Character in a science fiction novel. Thinker. And a good person, too.

    I guess the joke went over my head a bit today, whoosh.

    I’m suddenly learning second-hand about Frozen Shoulder, it’s said to be one of the worst pains a Person can experience. I’ve never heard of til now.

    I wonder if anyone here can relate, or better yet, knows if chiropractors can fix it in weeks instead of a year, or two, or more?

    Sorry, “I’ve never heard of – it – til now.”

    There’s that word again, “it”.
