My garden is small but good. My mother just gave me a gift of herbs growing in a pot far nicer than the ones I usually manage to salvage. I spent a couple of days recently cleaning up the abandoned lot next to my house. I found construction materials from the people who refurbished my house, cement and paint poured onto the ground, beer bottles and

I'm sorry love, have you met him?

Nor have you met Bobby. The rest of the internet is large. Please judge something else there instead of him.

But since I think I can reasonably assume that he hasn't started up his own state with currency and a justice system, I don't think he's an Anarchist either.

You seem to be confused.

You should stop.

Re: Anarchist

Is there some other accepted word for "people who live under capitalist systems but are proponents of and work towards anarchism"? If so, forgive the gap in my vocabulary. Most of the ones that I know, however, refer to themselves as anarchists. If this were a post about political systems, perhaps I'd consider categorising things differently. But it wasn't. And I don't think that I would.

I know that as nerds, the desire to declare the battle cry of, "um, actually," at most statement on the internet can be overwhelming most of the time. But it's not always necessary, and I'm not always going to be in the mood for it.

It wasn't meant as an insult; I do apologise if it read as one. I didn't even think it particularly clever. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your goal, but you seem to enjoy poking at technicalities. Most of the time that it happens within the comments of my journal I participate, and even defend it. But, and forgive me again if I'm misremembering a trend, your commentary tends to take the form of your correcting people. I don't require that people agree with me, or anyone else, all of the time. I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong. But you seem to really enjoy schooling people, and we're not always going to be interested in being schooled. I worded it thusly because I'm less concerned with the individual topic than I am with the pattern.
