Anarchists are not just OWS. Mountain men, minutemen, all those anti-government freaks are anarchists as well. Robert Heinlein made the distinction in "Time Enough for Love", the loudmouthed anarchist is frequently rare and on occasion should be placed on the endangered species list. The small mouthed anarchist does not need that protection, they often shoot back." Sorry, didn't take the time to look it up, but I think I'm close to the original.)
