Wow, what a scholar. The saddest thing about this though is that I've met a few people that would read that essay and enter a heated debate about the quality of its arguments and whether or not it's ideas are realistic.
Sadly, I'm in the same position sort of. Save my writing project is third of a set of novels, not including the writing projects I've been commissioned to complete, which include some material for gaming books and a ghostwriting contract. Hopefully I'll be able to switch from unemployment + self employment to part time employment + self-employment sooner rather than later

2) My tax dollars...hard at work.
