(The entry below was posted on a website where a bunch of anarchist were defending some crazy girl who threw a toilet paper roll with an M-80 in it at a cop at a rally somewhere in Denver. It exploded near a cop car 'allegedly' and the girl was busted by 'the man'. Of course they are just as haughty as the rest of the punx out there but somehow think they're morally superior ("Your system is vile and broken!")-which they aren't-but I figured I would have some fun...the poster's name is, ironically, "genius". Someone made a slight toward people with mohawks being 'animals' so genius glibly asked "name 5 animals with mohawks!"...well!)
All my life I wanted to respond to a genius! finally! to answer your immediate question:
1. Horses (and several species of Zebra! They've got rad striped ones too sometimes!)
2. Chinese crested dogs (C'mon, the PERFECT anarchist dog, am I right?)
3. Sulfur crested cockatoos (bright yellow AND they're fully adjustable)
4. Pileated woodpeckers (bright red without the manic panic hair dye!)
5. Hyenas (well known in fact for the their short but spiky doos)
6. Several species of our of close cousins the monkeys like the Thomas Leaf monkey
7. Certain varieties of chickens and roosters
(google for pictures of course!)
I could go on-heck where do you think WE got the idea from? humans are not that original anyway-we like copying one another. I can go to the end of haight street any day and find at least 5 matching mohawks without even trying. If anarchism works for you, that is great. Although I have never gotten why one system with inherent problems is better/morally superior than another system with inherent problems-single systems are all flawed anyway-or why working to pay for things you love-particularly if you love working or love what you do is 'evil' and driving society to its downfall? ever watched a bunch of anarchists get into an argument? Or been called a 'faggot' and "kike jewboy" because you wouldn't give up half of the piece of pizza you've still got in your mouth-the only food I had the entire day-a mere 10 feet from the anarchist bookstore no less-by one? I was flattered being considered to be jewish (i'm not) but deeply offended by the homophobia-because I am definitely gay. why does being hungry mean I am jewish or gay? still trying to figure that one out.
Sorry, but I wanted a place to keep my old Crass LPs that didn't involve staying in a house with 10 or more others-stepping over drunk people I didn't know asleep on the floor-having to worry if my clothes or stereo were going to be 'liberated' when I got home. If that makes me a 'tool of the man' then I can live with that. I am an independent artist-and I need somewhere to produce my work without worry. I could work on the side of a building(and have) but why limit myself to one medium creatively? Sometimes I use a computer, or a camera or sometimes just a pencil. Where do you have room to stretch a 4x10 foot canvas that takes 2 months to dry when people stream in and out all day? I don't know how many times i have heard of things going missing at squats-what makes you think a $500 digital camera is safe when you're not ruled by johnny law? I've met some really cool anarchist folks in my day but anarchists are just as capable of being elitist and bourgeois in their own way. I know johnbrown will have a work around for this-he seemingly has a workaround for every thing so far. how about do what works for you and stop playing up every downside of other people's way of life-what I am tongue in cheek doing so above-and just get on with living yours? No rich douchebag put me where I am. I come from working class parents-I worked my ass off to get here myself-and my system isn't 'broken'-we're all in the same one together. Think globally, act locally, right? Better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Do what you will, but harm none!
by the way, what is wrong with animals with mohawks? they're cute!
different "steve" btw - we're everywhere! ;)
p.s. why do so many street anarchists insist on keeping dogs?
p.p.s. why do so many anarchists wear only black and brown? color is fun!

Your stream of consciousness can be really amusing. XO
I'm wondering, though, who are you arguing with? A small part of yourself? ;)
I miss you my friend, come visit me at work and take you to lunch. We need to catch up. Hugs N what-not.
Hey yeah, its spring now-itsn't that like a super reason for lunch and drinks at the Ramp? Lunch soon would be good. having fun for pride I hope.
