Hi Karen I thought it was funny that the Anarchist seemed to be pacifist. In all likelihood she understands neither. I don't believe in shouting down anyone. However I think the idea that everyone has an equal right to hold an opinion, has somehow been distorted to mean all opinions are equally valid, which they clearly are not. I agree, that this incident should have been used as a "teachable moment" rather than an occasion to silence dissent. The answer to bad philosophy is good philosophy. The girl set herself up as a target when she publicly, and purposefully, proclaimed a clearly offensive message. If it was attention she was looking for, I guess she got it. "Anarchists don't want to establish a communist regime. They don't want any government at all." I'm not convinced that is true. I have heard Anarchists say they wish to do exactly that, but then technically, I guess they aren't really Anarchists. Speaking of self described Anarchists, have you heard of the fate of Solon? Did he get the boot, or did he just leave? I think he tried to come back as Angelachase, until he was discovered, but who knows? BTW my sale went very well, thank you for your best wishes. Greg
