I am who I am. I didn't realise I needed a label. I see you are too ashamed to post anything under a name though. I guess you don't have the strength of conviction for anything you say.
One foot in the grave? Not even close. I have travelled a lot, participated in various voluntary services for the Government and have lived a lot of life. So it may be that I am not as closed minded as some or as interested in empty rhetoric.
I guess by establishment you mean society since you can't have one without the other. Then yes, I am a part of that.
What is the fascination with Yeah Right? That marketing campaign seems to have had a real impact on a few people. Hard to tell though as they are all 'anonymous'. Maybe they are all one person. In which case it seems to be sarcasm making a weak attempt at wit.
Substance over assumptions is always a good start.
Josh - your name is just as anonymous as "anonymous" posters-we still don't know you from a bar of soap- why don't you put your full name and address down? :)
A lot of people who visit this site don't believe in laws. A good example of the ridiculousness of laws is the fact that people like Rickards get away with gang rape. In an anarchist society those types of people would have been dealt with by using 'community justice'.

Ha ha ha. No fear, I don't want any night time visits. If I thought you were heading round for a cup of tea, you'd have it, but I'm not sure that's your intention :).
What I meant by the anonymous comment is that is impossible to follow a persons thoughts in here as everyone is posting anonymously. It's good to see you've started putting your name against yours. I like to know who is responding to what I have said and what they have said before. Context is important.
Anarchist society is mob rule. How much rape do you think there would really be in this type of environment? Gangs, which you would probably call 'collectives' would thrive. Do you really think women would thrive in an environment where physical strength wins? Not everyone in an anarchist society will have the same views as you. I used to think that 'Rational Anarchy' (I know it's an oxymoron, but it is a real structure), had a place, but I no longer believe this either.
