Just that you are a kindred spirit of Hunter Thompson.

This is, indirectly, the point I was raising in my first post: you can appreciate someone's art without being a kindred spirit. The fuss over the Stone's song is caused by people forgetting this. What, is Ted Nugent the only performer we should ever listen to?

Jagger, Thompson, Sarandon, Castro, Stone, Streisand,Haydewn, Hoffman, Sprinsteen...

Lumping entertainers in with Castro detracts from the gravity of his crimes. On any moral scale, being an odious tyrant is exponentially worse than composing The Ghost of Tom Joad or starring in The Way We Were. (Well, worse than the first one anyway).

They don;t have to be Marxists..just Devolutionary and "Counter-culture" without a Clue. AKA: Anarchist

Strictly defined, an "anarchist" would be opposed to Marxism. There's nothing wrong with being an anarchist against illegitimate authority.

It's the Lefts promotion of individuals
excersizing the 'Personal Values' of
Nietzsche-ism, and "Civic values" grounded
Socialism, to push the whole of the
"prolotariat" inexorably into devolving
into Communism.

So yes, in my mind, it is quite legitimate to
lump Castro, Striesand, Hayden, Ginsburg,
Moo-er, Maher, Che, Tiddy Kowardly, Kucinich,
Penn, Asner, the ACLU plague rats..etc..all together.

Yes and no..fighting against a corrupt
government, does not make one an anarchist.

a true anarchist seeks to destroy *any*
kind of government, and while in idealistic
La La land, we could all interact without
a government, but in reality, one might as
well try and create a continental Shangri La...
all well and good, ...until you put people in it.

Civilisation has rules, not because some bunch of
Queens of Hearts in Black Dresses, decided to
make them, and change them, by fiat..but because
Society ENCODED THEIR MORALS AND VALUES, to best
benefit the whole of the society, to propagate and
protect it's survival. As far as i am concerned,
*Every* anarchist in the US, is a deadly domestic
enemy, and should be dealt with to whatever extent neccesary, to nutralise any ability they have to
effectively act like the societal cancer, they are.
