| What ever happened to anarchy? Complete freedom with no Government interference. The trendy role model, and the wannabe hardcore scene that exists in music. Heroin is not anarchy. Music lyrics, spoken word, music, and the like is not anarchy. Tattoo's are not anarchy. Trendy... Originality flops like a fish.
Survival, and walking away from society. Living outside Society is anarchy. Start a farm, grow your own food, build your own home, be self-sufficient.... who needs money, taxes, possessions. You are not an anarchist... you're a show. You're not real, but an act. Anarchy is not rebellion, it is absolute freedom. You are not absolute free unless you live outside the confines of our society. If you live within this society, you're not free. When you're stuck in a box by a category, you're not free. In fact, you put yourself in that box voluntarily to "make a statement." Ridiculous. I think it was Emerson, or maybe it was Thoreau, I don't remember - one of them left into the wilderness and refuse to pay taxes because he felt he was outside of society. Why pay taxes when you're not participating in society? You're not paying sales tax, you're not paying income tax, you're not paying for social security, you're not being taxed... property tax? Well, you're in the wilderness so f--k that. Living off the land...
Anyway, to each their own. With or without Government, people always look to someone to bring order. So in a sense, f--k anarchy. It'll never work. Maybe it'll lead to smaller forms of Government... who knows. If it was up to me, and I'm sure most people are thankful it's not, we'd get rid of all technology and do everything by hand. Forget all this free time, it's depressing. It's why people are alcoholics and druggies and complacent... they have too much time on their hands. Let's get back to nature, and living off the land by growing stuff ourselves. Let's get rid of corporations, get rid of money, and go back to trade (I'll give you some corn for a chicken or two). Let's get rid of the computer, get rid of cars, get rid of the education system that doesn't teach anything but complacency. Let's us all rise out of ourselves and start a real revolution... and just stop buying crap that has no meaning or real use. No more television, no more movies, no more video games, no more consuming...
Eh, that's not going to happen. I have no faith in man... because we suck. We are cancer... constantly searching for more comfort. We always act before thinking, always ask questions after the fact, and discover later that we just destroyed the ozone layer, melting the ice bergs, have dead zones in the ocean, polluted water sources, etc...
Can I complain more and more? Sure! Am I going to get up and lead the way? No! I'm not an anarchist, I'm just myself. Outside the bounds of stupid categories that I do happen to get thrown into. Luckily, I usually throw people off... because they don't know me. You may not be able to judge a book by a cover, but a cover can fool enough people to make them interested in the book. Some books don't want to be read except by those rare individuals who are rare themselves. Most book covers only attract those who are already assimilated to that style or genre of book. A good book, expands outside all boundaries to everyone. A good cover can lure many people to it, and I'm getting carried away with this.
Anarchy - someone needs to stand for something. Do what you will, do what you please, be you, be true, and conform to whatever you want too! Life is yours, life is mine, and we intermingle once in awhile.

| What makes us who we are? A lack of family history might make you think you are an individual with your own unique characteristics. It's interesting the more and more I discover in the present about the past, the more I learn I have characteristics that are not my own.
I am me, really. Though certain things, like for example, handwriting. A picture of a Draft Card shows that my own signature isn't really my own. Someone else had it before me. It's like writing, or trying to be creative artistically (in art) today. It's all be thought of, it's all been done. Check out Jackson Pollack and his dropping of paint upon a canvas. The fight to be original is really not original. We have to accept that our ancestors are always a part of us, they live in us, and we don't even realize it.
In this sense, it does go to show that when we do not die. We live on through our offspring, in small ways. Resemblance, movements, gestures, certain qualities, and even hand writing. So even in our society that is getting away from family, and focusing on self, even hobbies are being pass down from far off generations. We no longer take our parents profession, no longer model our parents in the same way, and are no more and more influenced by outside factors (friends, teachers, television, music, celebrities, etc..) than we were 200 years ago. Yet, even through this we still carry the same similar handwriting as an ancestor who lived 100 years earlier who we never met.
It is really quite evident to me now that after I die, I will still "live" even if I am not remembered. Forces out of our hands will force my genes and characteristics upon my son, and his children, and his children after that indefinitely until there are no more children in the line. That is when I will surely die... or will I? Eternity is an interesting concept, but does not exist in our science.
