Interesting, but a bit disturbing:
every impediment to infantile and adolescent sexuality by parents, teachers, or administrative authorities must be stopped ... Besides engaging in direct action, anarchists can also support legal protection of infantile and adolescent sexuality (repeal of the insane statutory rape laws would be one example), just as they support legislation that protects workers’ right to strike, family leave, and so forth.

Interesting? Mmmmm. Inflammatory? Certainly. Remove statutory rape laws? Stand in front of the famous Flibble and say that. She'd take your face off, and I'd be standing just behind her in case she missed someone. Well, we can all play at Brave New Worldish stuff.

How about instantaneous hanging for anyone who could even think of going in that direction? You know, I'm not advocating this, just mooting the idea in a non-pushy way so that people, like, can errr... sort of ... discuss it in an anarchistic (???) kind of way. I mean, I'm not saying don't shag a ten-year-old, cos' you might really feel you have to do that, and that's, sort of, your own bag ...

Oh ... shut me up, Moderators, quickly ...

No, no - carry on, or somebody else will have to do it...

I really think there should be a country set aside for anarchists (some kind of island, ideally); and then I'd like to see how it goes - how long it takes before either they've all killed each other, or come to the conclusion that some kind of rules aren't a bad thing at all!

Isn't that what happened in Lord of the Flies?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

More or less - if I remember correctly! Have to dig it out again - somewhere in that mess of books at home must be a copy... :?
