16. I don't think it's anarchy that is desired, it's the opposite, the construction of laws.
I forget who said it that way... I think I saw it on a video clip.

But OWS is asking for regulation and taxation, not the dissolution of government.

And so far... voting still matters, as long as election fraud is kept in check, but it's getting to the point where if you have to choose between bad and worse you have to know that the methods of running candidates has to change. Right now there is no way in hell TPTB would allow a real progressive into any meaningful race. And that is unacceptable. So we have to have real campaign finance reform and get rid of the professional lobbyists etc... get money out of politics. That's not anarchy at all, just retooling the system so that it isn't gamed by big money.
