“…I do not find that laudable.” – rigsy Mahem?....more than is created at most football games…where drug induced parties destroy property and attach each other and innocent bystanders? Actually, I missed precious little…especially living in Portland Oregon. To some the title of anarchist is like that of pinko, communist, gay, etc. It is a very easy term to bandy about and assume it is obviously a stance against humanity. It is harder to examine the stance…as I’ve historically quoted Chomsky’s definition, one of countless anarchists who do not quite fit your mold. Anarchy in and of itself is not the problem nor the issue. Perhaps it is the fear some people feel around an apparent loss of the current social order.
Regardless…my point continues to be ignored rigsy. Directly, how do you feel about the traitors who caused havoc and destruction in the original Boston Tea Party? “Two-thirds of those whose ages were known were under 20, including 16 teenagers.” [1] Yes, to some they were traitors. Are they traitors to you?...or the patriots most of the citizens of the USA consider them to be? I hope you carefully consider your response.
