![]() "Tim J." wrote in message ... "Wolfgang" wrote... Wolfgang whose political philosophy has been clearly and unequivocally stated on a number of occasions. Honestly, I (who is not assuming to place himself on the "list of careful readers") haven't figured out much about your political bent at all. I've come to the conclusion that there's left, right, and Wolfgang. Good job! I admire the political enigma. It was never my intention to be enigmatic......well, not about this anyway. Quite simply, I'm an anarchist. However, as a long time observer of political processes (and some time participant), I came to the realization decades ago that very few people are interested in trying anarchy and, as anarchy obviously requires near universal acceptance, it ain't gonna happen. So, I live with the political system we have in place, reserving the right to comment periodically on the antics of the greedy and murderous assholes who run it, and the even greedier and more murderous vapid assholes who lend their support to one insufferable faction or another, all the while trying desperately to justify their rapaciousness and boundless misanthropy. Simple, no? ![]() Wolfgang who is all atwitter with anticipation over which fool of a liar will step up to the plate first. |

Well, I guess that making them a matter of public record is still the best way to assure that one's hopes and expectations are dashed. Ask for a reasoned response and you'll get a fool every time. Conversely, ask for a fool and you get.......THIS! ![]() Wolfgang |

Simple, no? ![]() Wolfgang You chose, or someone chose for you, one of the better nations in which to practice your particular form of anarchy. It would appear to me that choosing such a political philosophy would require a bit less anarchy on your part if there were more anarchists around to practice said philosophy with you. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 TANSTAAFL |

![]() "slenon" wrote in message .. . Quite simply, I'm an anarchist. anip Simple, no? ![]() Wolfgang You chose, or someone chose for you, one of the better nations in which to practice your particular form of anarchy. I'll try to keep that in mind if I ever practice anarchy. I wouldn't hold my breath though; cooperative ventures, by their very nature, are not the sorts of things one can do alone......and I don't see a line forming anywhere. As to a "particular form of anarchy", I'm sure I don't have a much better idea of what you might mean by that than you have. It would appear to me that choosing such a political philosophy would require a bit less anarchy on your part if there were more anarchists around to practice said philosophy with you. Um.......you DO know that words have meanings, right? I mean, I don't want to appear to be unduly demanding or anything.....I don't, for example, expect you to know what meanings go with which words....but you ARE aware that there is some sort of correlation, right?

Wolfgang:
As to a "particular form of anarchy", I'm sure I don't have a much better idea of what you might mean by that than you have. Are you a pure anarchist, a rational anarchist, anarchist when convenient? Consult your dictionaries or old poly sci textbooks. Or, are you a good witch or a bad witch? Answer either question and get bonus points. Um.......you DO know that words have meanings, right? I mean, I don't want to appear to be unduly demanding or anything.....I don't, for example, expect you to know what meanings go with which words....but you ARE aware that there is some sort of correlation, right? That is my understanding. You, however, seem confused by the concept that organized anarchy is in effect, not anarchy at all. I've always been amused at the concept that anarchy can be a system of government to any degree of reality. Equally, I've been amused at student revolutionaries, who've never held a firearm or a Molotov cocktail, seen trauma beyond the random parking lot scuffle, or worked for their consumer goods, demanding and desiring the type of social and economic restructuring that would guarantee that they would never again set foot on campus or use their parent provided consumer goods. Once in a while, I find myself wishing them a small dose of what they demonstrate for. But my better nature and my own desire for creature comforts prevails. Your statement, to me, seems to indicate that rather than participate actively in any political system, you simply justify opting out and sniping from the sidelines by claiming to be an anarchist. It is an easy copout. Of course, given the nature of usenet communications, you could be quite an active participant in local and other politics and simply be driven to making such statements to the contrary by boredom, SAD, or some other causation. So, as winter locks you into its grip and sunlight hours decrease, may you find some degree of comfort in your dictionaries, manuals of grammar and syntax, and your insistence in using multiple periods to no real end but to fill space on a monitor and perhaps exercise your right ring finger. ..............Or do you, .......perhaps.......just ....have a sticky..........keyboard? -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 |

Answer either question and get bonus points. Good Lor, it not only reads Kiplin, but Heinlei as well! But then, old news is no news, ainna? I tell you what though, some day.....when your tastes mature a bit.....you may want to move on to the master, himself. Nietzch is, overall, vastly more amusing than Heinlei.....though not as tittilating, perhaps. ![]() Um.......you DO know that words have meanings, right?

That is my understanding. You, however, seem confused by the concept that organized anarchy is in effect, not anarchy at all. Well, Willi is serving detention right now, but after school you might want to get together with him and discuss this matter of how things seem. I suspect he'll be able to give you oodles of help. I've always been amused at the concept that anarchy can be a system of government to any degree of reality. We can only imagine and wonder at the drolleries that keep you chortling over your sherry.....or amantillado, as the case may be. Equally, I've been amused at student revolutionaries, who've never held a firearm or a Molotov cocktail, But, if everyone were burning babies, the demand would soon outstrip the supply, and then where would the next generation of cannon fo.......er......patriots come from? No, I'm afraid the masses will have to continue to live vicariously through you. seen trauma beyond the random parking lot scuffle, or worked for their consumer goods, demanding and desiring the type of social and economic restructuring that would guarantee that they would never again set foot on campus or use their parent provided consumer goods. Once in a while, I find myself wishing them a small dose of what they demonstrate for. You know, I've been willing to shrug it off as some sort of miscommunication, but it's becoming too obvious to ignore.....you really don't know that the sixties are over, do you? But my better nature and my own desire for creature comforts prevails. Your desire for creature comforts doubtless trumps everything but your willingness to use whatever old corpses and make however many new ones it takes to prop up your self-image. Your statement, to me, seems to indicate that rather than participate actively in any political system, you simply justify opting out and sniping from the sidelines by claiming to be an anarchist. It is an easy copout. Actually, it's more a case of finding cheap amusement in being lectured to by a marionette. Of course, given the nature of usenet communications, you could be quite an active participant in local and other politics and simply be driven to making such statements to the contrary by boredom, SAD, or some other causation. Hm.......well, I don't see what any of that has to do with the nature of usenet communications but as for the rest of the analysis, I'd have to say....mmmmm.....could be. So, as winter locks you into its grip and sunlight hours decrease, may you find some degree of comfort in your dictionaries, manuals of grammar and syntax, O.k., and you have fun with your cowboy books! and your insistence in using multiple periods to no real end but to fill space on a monitor and perhaps exercise your right ring finger. ..............Or do you, .......perhaps.......just ....have a sticky..........keyboard? Keyboard's fine, and..............SURPRISE!...........I have several fingers on my right hand. Wolfgang |
