I agree.  All Seattle ended up doing was making ppl like hte anarchists be 
further shunned by society and viewed as radicals who want chaos.  And then 
many of them fled the scene, making them look even more like they only 
wanted violenece, with no cause, which im sure at least a few of them did.  
It did so much more to hurt the cause than to help it.

As 4 ur remark abt the encircled A, i also agree.  The way its sold in 
stores as being made of blood or appearing chaotic or primitive makes it 
look as if anarchists WANT chaos, not the opposite.  As 4 peace, many ppl 
dont seem 2 realize that might does NOT make right, and the philosophy 
"Actions speak louder than words" seem to be engrained upon them.

Of course, this is all just my opinion, but hey, i try.
