#2 ...When I was a USAF recruiter, one of my kids came down to check in and had with him a young gentleman who could best be described as 'goth with a serious attitude problem'. I remained polite of course, and then I noticed the anarchist symbol painted on the toes of his boots.
Thinking this kid was ripe for a little fun, I asked what the symbols meant and he launched into a long explanation of exactly what anarchy was. I listened, nodded, and then asked:

"But if anarchy means society with out a state or authority, doesn't the wearing of that symbol mean that you claim authority over others to demand they change the way of life they've freely chosen and support?"

Man, thought the boy's head was gonna explode.

#3 To amend his fool actions, offer to let him enlist and proceed directly to the front. His clarity of thought would make a remarkable recovery.

#4 You don't understand MikeMan, dressing alike is dee rigur for anarkists. Likewise is they mob chant, "Giver me some money you", it's all in the Big Golden Book of Acting 24 With A Philosophy Degree. It's a lifestyle choice.
