Not that we need another editorial to read, but I find this fellow to be very interesting and very fun to read. This peticular article is titled "what is Anarchy?"

There are a few other good reads by the same author, one that compares the Bush administartion with Nazi Germany. Just thought I'd pass along a bit of interest. (of course this isn't even a match flame when compared to the great burning sun that is "the poets eye")

"Anarchy is an expression of social behavior that reflects the 'individualized' nature of life." says it all. Contemplate that line for a few moments. Are all of the people you know of the same makeup? The range of individuality comprising social behaviour covers such a wide spectrum that some form of government is absolutely essential. But as Jefferson said, "That form of government that governs best is that one that governs least." Herein lies the real problem - polarity. The opposite of true, non-malicious 'anarchists' is always going to be balanced in a world composed only of dualities by their opposite - the power mongers who want to control everything. But the beat will go on, like waves on the sea, rising and falling. Don't go looking for any utopion societies in this world. Duality will not allow it.

anarchy may be individual and it may seem a natural state, but another natural state is order, and people seeking to be happy in some pursuit, be it financial, social, intellectual, will seek some order, some way of organizing, whether it's to automate easy tasks in order to increase success, to collaborate with others to facilitate success, etc., to help them advance happiness and success in that pursuit, and then that order will come into conflict with someone else's success, necessitating a larger order, a larger social organization, some governing order.
