		<description>Dude, watch the language. :)

Of course, I agree. Great point.

And I don&#039;t know if this is similar--but the way black libertarian/conservative types are treated is despicable. If they oppose affirmative action--based in part on the argument that it tends to make people attribute genuine individual success to the aff action policy--they are accused of being ingrates... i.e, the leftist does exactly what the argument accuses them of. It&#039;s a disgusting attempt to stifle debate: to foist a system on people, that then prevents them from even arguing against it. It makes my (horrible, racist, white) scin crawl.</description>

		<description>And feminists have pointed to a similar stricture for patriarchal assumptions about rape.  If women dress in a sexually attractive manner, they&#039;re asking for it.  If they don&#039;t, they&#039;re castrating bitches and so again are asking for it.  If they go out alone, they&#039;re asking for it.  If they go out with a male protector, then they&#039;re alone &lt;i&gt;with him&lt;/i&gt; and so are asking for it.  If she&#039;s sexually active, then she&#039;s a slut and so shouldn&#039;t mind.  If she&#039;s not sexually active, then she&#039;s a frigid bitch and the rapist is doing her a favour ... etc.</description>

		<description>This reminds me of the terrible web of antitrust laws:

1. If you charge too little, it&#039;s predatory price cutting (attempting to monopolize);

2. If you charge too much, you are obviously abusing a monopoly power you&#039;ve managed to achieve;

3. If you charge the same as your competitors, it&#039;s collusion.</description>

		<description>. . . and Auberon Herbert, of course.

One wonders why he doesn&#039;t think it&#039;s so incriminating that Green, Spooner and Tolstoy refused to call themselves anarchists.

And of course, there&#039;s no mention of Proudhon&#039;s more &quot;capitalistic&quot; contemporary, the self-proclaimed anarchist Anselme Bellegarrigue.

Interesting also that even though he puts things in block quotes, he never seems to be able to just quote the text straight through.  He always has to break it up into sentence fragments and insert his own words in between, which has been found to change the original meaning on several occasions.</description>

		<description>The sponsors of the event at UNC Chapel Hill were the &quot;Youth for Western Civilization.&quot;  They even have a Facebook Group Page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12462690189

For some reason their symbol seems to be the fascist logo… hmm.  Website: http://www.westernyouth.org/</description>

		<description>Your use of uppercase lettering in Anarchist Consensus Project indicates that it is a formal group. A quick google search yielded unsatisfactory results. Is this a formal group/project? I would like to learn more about such a project as I am not 
(yet) an official anarchist (more of a minarchist, though I wish there was a different term). I must confess that Dr. Long has done more to convince me of the viability of the anarchist position than my friends at LvMI (but don&#039;t tell them I said so). Perhaps one day I will be &#039;pure&#039;... but not today.</description>
